I can't mount windows share

Hi All,
I have a problem: I try to map the folder that is shared on Windows 7 machine, to my Linux server. I have my folder created in /mnt and the thing is that I need to allow my non-root user to store files in this /mnt/(folder). Those are the issues I have:

1. I would like to map this share without username and password (the folder is shared with every rights for Everyone)
2. When I tried with username and password (mount -t cifs \\(IP)\(folder_name) -o username=(userid),password=(pwd) /mnt/foldername) I got the message:

mount: only root can do that

Howdy, Stranger!
