set up the samba server and configure it to your liking with the desktopfolder - on the xp box connect to samba (add network drive) and check the box to restore the connection on booting... voila

to configure your samba u might want to take a look at ksambaplugin (emerge ksambaplugin) - it not flawless but nice to start with...

Alternativelly, if you don't use KDE you can use SWAT to configure your samba server. Just enable it in xinetd (I don't recall if it's enabled by default), fire up your favorite browser, go to http://localhost:901, login as root and configure away.
