On the computer you wish to share.
Right Click the folder, Sharing and Security, on the sharing tab, set the
necessary parameters.

That makes the folder visible on the network. On the other computer(s) look
for the computer and folder in My Network Places.

It is also possible to setup a Network drive on the local computer.
You can map a remote computer and folder to a drive letter.

If you use the complete path to the file, any program that is network aware
can use a file on another computer. You would setup the program to use a
default folder that is mapped to another computer.

The path looks like this:
\Kitchen\d\Medicine

\Kitchen is the name of the remote computer
\d is the drive on that computer
\Medicine is the folder on that computer and drive.

You can then see any file in that folder from the local computer.
