On the computers that you want to be able to share:
Go to windows explorer.
Navigate to the disk that you want to share, right click with it highlighted in the left window, go to properties.
You will see a tab called "sharing", click it. Turn on full access and then assign a full access password. (do not run it without a password because otherwise someone coming into your network if they get past your router would be able to get to your disk.)
Then say ok and close that up.
go to the other computer and go to windows explorer there, go to the bottom where it says network neighborhood, click that, you should see "entire network", click it. You should then see something like "mshome" or some such, click it. At that point you should see the other computer, click it, you should see the drives. Hightlight the drive you want, right click iut and select "map network drive". Pick a drive to call it, enter the password and voila, you should be talking to the other computer.
That is the way I do it.
