You share the folder like any other Folder on the computer that the folder is.

Successful Sharing involves some general consideration in Network settings, http://www.ezlan.net/sharing.html

As well as specific adjustment of each computer according to what it is allowed to be shared.

Vista File and Printer Sharing- http://www.microsoft.com/techn...evaluate/vista_fp.mspx

Follow the instructions under the Sharing a Folder or Printer in Windows Vista and Accessing a Shared Folder or Printer with Windows Vista sections of the Vista link that JackMDS posted to set and use the correct permissions for the shared folders.
