I'd say the simplest way, is to right click on a folder name and select
properties. Click on the sharing tab and share with "everyone".  Then go to
the "Network and Sharing Center", scroll down to all networks and turn OFF
password protected sharing, otherwise you will have to add a local user
account for each person you want to grant access to. This is fairly
insecure as there will be no password and everyone will have full
permissions by default (according to the advanced sharing button) or only
read permission according to the top sharing button.  Let me know which one
is correct, assuming this works for you. ;)
