I found one way to access the shared folder without giving the username and password.

We need to change the share folder protect settings in the machine where the folder has been shared.

Go to Control Panel > Network and sharing center > Change advanced sharing settings > Enable Turn Off password protect sharing option.

By doing the above settings we can access the shared folder without any username/password.

You need to go to user accounts and enable Guest Account  its default disabled  Once you do this  you share any folder and add the guest account to the list of users who can accesss that specific folder  this also includes to Turn off password Protected Sharing in  Advanced Sharing Settings   The other way to do this where you only enter a password once is to join a Homegroup  if you have a network of 2 or more computers  they can all connect to a homegroup and access all the files they need from each other  and anyone outside the group needs a 1 time password to be able to access your network  this was introduced in windows 7
