i want to share the folder of windows through ubuntu.how can i?

Asked by somit

when i shared the file of windows through ubuntu 8.04,it gives 'net usershare' returned error 255: net usershare add: cannot share path /media/MOVIES/english as we are restricted to only sharing directories we own.
 Ask the administrator to add the line "usershare owner only = False"
 to the [global] section of the smb.conf to allow this.
i don't know how to do this.

typing
gksu gedit /etc/samba/smb.conf
in terminal window
and adding line "usershare owner only = False" in global section

should do it...

Can you help with this problem?
