Can I turn off userid/password login screen for workgroup computers?

Default Can I turn off userid/password login screen for workgroup computers?

I have a home LAN and am running Vista RTM on one of the boxes. Under XP,
there was no authentication required when going between computers for file
or printer sharing. Now under Vista, it is asking for a userid and password
every time one of the workgroup computers tries to get to the Vista machine.
I don't want computers on my LAN to have to enter a userid and password, so
is there anyway to turn that off?

Thanks,
