How to share a folder?

[grandall]

OK, what's the easy way to share a folder on the network in Tiger? I'm assuming there's something that's the equivalent of right-clicking a folder in Windows and picking "Sharing" and turning it on, but I can't find it. "Windows Sharing" and "Personal File Sharing" and such are turned on in System Preferences, and my home directory is shared OK, but I need to share other things as well. I'm sure I can open a terminal window and type "pico /etc/smb.conf" and edit by hand or something, but I'm hoping there's something user-friendlier.

What type of computer are you trying to access it on? I have a Wintel laptop and Mini. I network them together by just activating Windows Sharing. I then just type in "//192.168.0.106" into Explorer and i'm connected. I don't think it just shares your home drive because I believe I've gotten access to the rest of the computer, but I could be wrong.

The other computers in the network are running Windows XP or 2003. I can map to my home directory in Explorer by mapping a drive letter to \\mini\grandall. That part works fine. I have another folder on the mini (actually, on the external FireWire drive) called "Stuff" that I want to map to a different drive letter as \\mini\stuff. There's got to be an easy way to do that, but I'm not finding it.

SharePoints seems to be the software you want to use to do this. I have confirmation on it working in Tiger. I know there's an option to do it in OS X besides editing /etc/smb.conf, but my Mini is currently naked in front of me.
