run the network wizard on her computer, right click on the root drive, sharing and security, and i understand, and then share it.

If you're looking to share one certain folder instead of the root drive (C

then just right click the folder you want to share. Then click "sharing and security". Then check the box that says share this folder on the network. You can also check the box that says "allow network users to change my files" if needed.

These instructions are for XP which I'm assuming that is the OS you're running.
