You don't need to setup a domain....
To share a folder or drive(not recommended) open your
Windows explorer and right click on the folder you want
to share. Select "Sharing and Security" and follow the
instructions.
P.S.: The windows XP help file has a great explanation
about how to share files/folders

>Set up mini LAN through gateway to DSL and 2 pc's, one
running win98SE, one running XP Pro. XP now setup with
workgroup. Ran net config wizard and took net floppy to
pc on 98. Made firewall happy. Got pc's to see each
other, share printer on 98, share files on designated
sharedfolders. What I would like to do is be able to
backup drives on one pc to the other and maybe same with
drive images, + general file and disk sharing, so I'd
like to map and share network drives, more than just
share a single folder. Can I do this with XP as a
workgroup, which I would like to do, or do I need to
create a domain and figure out how to get pc on 98SE on
domain? If workgroup works OK, how do I go about sharing
drives, please?
