Sorry, but that is wrong.

"Everyone" group includes "Anonymous" with no account.

Just to be specific, one cannot access files via a share with the null user, and XP by default also limits the enumeration techniques one can use with a null session. The point is that giving a file permissions for the everyone built in group will not allow *anyone* to just hop on and get files. It simply does not work that way. Just because it is set up for "everyone" you still must authenticate to the controller.
