how do I access my dvd files through the Xbox 360?

I have gone into Windows Media Center on my pc which is Windows 7 Professional. When I click task and then settings, I go to the folder that has my movies so that I can click it but for some reason WMC won't let me check the folder. I thought maybe I needed to share out the folder so I went to the library/Windows Explorer, right clicked on it, selected sharing, and chose everyone. Then I noticed that there was no icon like 3 faces on the folder as it usually is. What am I missing ??
