With KDE, I just copy the default samba configuration file, edit the workgroup to match the windows systems, and start the samba daemon. Then I right-click on a folder, go to the sharing tab, and finally click away. If you don't want to share from Linux, just configure the sharing on Windows (go to advanced sharing settings in win7). Make sure to uncheck password-protected sharing. Then you can just access the machine from KDE/Dolphin->Network without samba (just smbclient needs to be present).
