He does not recommend to use the local users and groups method but he won't say why. I mean he's a pro user/pro member and all that but I really don't understand why he doesn't want to answer that question.

What I mean is this: let's say I have a laptop that's using a Microsoft Live account that's sharing a folder. And then I have a media player that would access that folder through the network. What are all the ways of authenticating? Example of onr way would be using the email address format as the login id.
Well you should be able to share the folder and set the permissions for 'everyone' or the particular user for the media player to have full read/write access which should mean it won't need any sort of authentication as such

Yeah, that's one option but I don't want to go that route. I want to share it and just let the owner (only the Microsoft Live Account) to have access to it meaning it would still ask for credentials.
For creating an account. To find out what to use for your NTFS permissions, go to C:/users/ and see what Windows called your account. For me, it used my first name.
Then, when putting in the username for another computer to access it, you'd want to share your particular file, then type in this:
\\server's name\drive letter\
For the username, type this:
server's name\whatever Windows called your username

Yes. You did not specify that you had tried the method I suggested. Nor did you specify the type of media player you have. I therefore cannot be of significant help to you.

Oops, I think that was on a different forum, my bad. Yes, I actually did try that method already. It gets to through the network level authentication just fine but it won't see my shared folders. Using a regular computer, I have no problems. The media players are popcorn hour c300 and medx3d.
EDIT:
So just to confirm, these are only the ways of authenticating
1.) Email address format
2.) computer name\anything that's in c:\users
