Is it possible to connect from Windows to a Samba share without requiring a password and user?
It's getting on my nerves having to input a password all the time!

Depending on other considerations, using SHARE rather than USER security might be appropriate. (But read the manual to learn whether you should do that.)
"Samba 3 by Example" is the name of a Fine Manual, with quite a few scenarios.
For what it's worth, googling for
connect from Windows to a Samba share without requiring a password and userseems to give handy-looking information in the first few results.
All the best,
