you need to go into the "My Network Places" properties and click "file and printer sharing" and then check the boxes give it a restart and then create a folder, then right click on that folder and click "properties" option and then the "sharing" tab. Then setup this!!! then put all of the files you want to share in this folder!!! Hope this helps:)
