Number 4 is easy if your Windows system has a guest account with access to the
directories you need. Number 4 is still easy even if you don't, but involves
coding an account's password into /etc/fstab.
There might be a workaround if one of your init scripts does the mount and
isn't readable by users. Not a standard way of mounting filesystems, so
anyone else who needs to admin the system would need to be informed of the
method.
