You want to create the share for this in your smb.conf file. There will be entries in there you can follow, but it will be something like:
[Richard] comment = Richard's home share for underpriviledged XP users path = /home/richard/shared_thing read only = No locking = No browseable = yes
Then you restart Samba. Typing "testparm" will sort of parse the file to check your syntax is ok.
You don't actually need to restart I don't think, doesn't Samba (the smb process) respond to the usual 'kill -1 <pid>'?
