file explorer. Since sharing is enabled to the LAN by default (this includes both
wired AND wireless clients) and maps a "bad user" to Guest, then even if they
don't supply a username and password or an invalid one, ANYONE connected to
your router can access the files in the share in Read-Only mode. If you enable
