It already is accessibel if you create a .orbitrc file for root in the
way it has been discussed here before. Alternatively, you can install
the samba package and add something like the following to the file
/etc/samba/smb.conf:

[sharedfolder]
path = /home/youruser/shared
comment = my shared folder
available = yes
browseable = yes
public = yes
writable = yes

Then do:

/etc/init.d/samba restart
