Default Still prompt for password


I have turn off password protected sharing.
But it still prompt for user name and password.

Both machines running Vista Business.
They are all sit in a Home wireless LAN,
under same workgroup.

I still can access the shared folder provided I supply the uid & pwd.

Why else should I do to make it sharing without prompt for password.

Any idea?

FYI:
I have turn on Guest account on 1 machine & use it but later it have been
turn off.
It happened before I try file sharing.
