SharePoint 2007 Anonymous Access and STSADM Lockdown

To setup Anonymous Access, please see the below basic steps (remember to change the URL):
  1. Logon to the SharePoint Server
  2. Open Command Prompt
  3. Edit and type the following command: stsadm -o activatefeature -url http://intranet -filename ViewFormPagesLockDown\feature.xml
  4. Still in command prompt, edit and type the following command: stsadm -o deactivatefeature -url http://intranet -filename ViewFormPagesLockDown\feature.xml
  5. Finally, open Central Administration and click Application Management > Authentication Providers and select the relevant Web App you wish to enable Anonymous Access on
  6. Toggle Enable Anonymous Access check box (go in and out of this screen, essentially leaving Anoynmous Access turned on and thus toggling it)

From here, as long as the site collection should be ready to go.
