System Preferences/Sharing.

Turn on "File Sharing"

Job done.

Chicken of the VNC. (mac vnc client for remote viewing)

System Preferences/Sharing.

Turn on remote management (turns on vnc server)

Use any windows VNC client to view from a windows machine.

Ahh..Sorry. In that file sharing place you'll need to click options and then select "share files on smb" as well.

By default the file sharing only shares via ftp, because quite frankly, smb (windows file sharing) is shite.

Then it should appear as a network share on windows.
