It's difficult to tell what is being asked here. This question is ambiguous, vague, incomplete, overly broad, or rhetorical and cannot be reasonably answered in its current form. See the FAQ for guidance on how to improve it.

Right click the folder the file is stored in and go to sharing and security, tick the box "share this folder" and put in a name for the share. Go to permissions in that share tab and add the user or the account "everyone" that you want to share with. You will also have to add the user or "everyone" in the security tab for NTFS permissions. You can browse to you newly created share on the other PC by opening My Network Places, or by typing //computername/*sharename* into Run.

It might be good to explain how the other person can then access the shared file. – Chris Jan 27 '11 at 17:04
