Usually you'd right-click the folders you want to share and enable
sharing from the options there.
Then to access them find out the machine name (eg machine_A) by
right-clicking "My Computer" and looking on the Network Identification
tab for "full computer name".
Finally, use that computer name by typing it into windows explorer on
Machine B or C, preceded by 2 backslashes, eg
\\machine_A\videofiles\
You should then see a directory listing of the videofiles folder on
machine B (I made up that directory name, use your own). The files
should play fine from there.
