Tom,
The link below explains it fairly clearly:
Restrict Anonymous: Enumeration and the Null User
For most home users and such, the understanding of the "anonymous" user and the underlying need to enumerate users and permissions especially as it relates to "servers" is information that you don't need. If you ever do, then you'll need to study a lot more..I know this....It's something that's not in my study list..
Hope this helps.
