Here's How: Give Others Access to Your Folders
Enabling others on the network to open folders on one computer should be easy, but it's not terribly intuitive, partly because the commands vary with different versions of Windows. As you right-click the folder or drive you want to open up to others, in Windows XP, select Sharing and Security; in Windows 2000, ME, and 98, choose Sharing. After that, you're free to determine the type of access.
