First off Everyone (actually a group name) is not really anybody. Everyone is a group of users who have access to that specific workstation. This could consist of the guest account, admin, etc...
Allowing anon access to a resource is a bad idea but it can be done using a share versus NTFS permissions. You will also need to tweak your security policy a bit. Keep in mind you are opening this computer to the world when you do this!
Whenever your trying to map a share it should look like this: \\computername\sharename. In simple terms if the computer name was homeputer and the share name was share we would map it like this \\homeputer\share
For your general information this is a called a UNC path or Universal Naming Convention path, whichever you prefer.

If you really want to allow anyone access to those files you can follow these instructions: http://technet2.microsoft.com/WindowsServe...3.mspx?mfr=true
I STRONGLY ADVISE AGAINST DOING THIS IF THIS MACHINE IS CONNECTED OR WILL EVER TOUCH THE INTERNET. Perform these steps at your own risk!
I hope this helps!
