[Samba] How to access Samba file share from Windows w/o requiring
guest logon?

I've attached an Apple XServe to our Windows domain, and have successfully
setup all the Active Directory integration.
I've been able to expose a file share to Windows via Samba from the XServe,
but it's still requring a guest account login.
For example, when i try and open <file://\\xserve\AppStorage>
\\xserve\AppStorage from the Windows Explorer, it shows a username/pwd
dialog. If i type in 'guest', it lets me in.
Problem is, i want to use a file share from a .NET web app and Win32 server,
and i don't want to have to provide authentication when accessing the UNC
path. The subfolders of the file share will use NTFS ACLs to provide
access, so i'm OK with this file share having 'everyone' access.
Anybody know if there's a way to not require that authentication popup, and
just default to 'guest' access?
I've pasted the relevant pieces of smb.conf below. (I replaced the actual
domain and volume name with DOMAIN and VOLUME.)
Thanks for any help/pointers!
