on your mac in prefs you have sharing , in there is a tick box for windows share
once enabled you will need to set up a user name and pass
it will give you an ip address like \\10.10.10.10\macrumorsmember
try it by typing this into the address bar in windows , a box will pop up with username and password - type in and you just made it work!
to save this network drive go to tools and map network drive - selct drive letter and pop address in - put user name and password in and your done
all done from memory not that good so might have forgot something there

I'm at map network drive but now im stuck what to do. It has every drive there except C and im not sure what to do with folder?
you can't use C: as you already got that - pick g: and type in the box your 10.10.... what ever you got and press next
