How do I share a folder permanently to guest user - no internet connection

Hi, sorry but ive tried looking everywhere and cannot find the answer.

Im the main user and admin of my macbook pro, I have also set up a guest account so any user can login with no password and use the computer.

However, I would like to permanently share 1 folder I have with movies and pictures with the guest account.

I know I can enable folder sharing through the internet, but I dont want that, I all I want is to allow access to one of my folders and make it visible to the guest account.

Is this possible or do you have any suggestions?

Thanks!

MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.5)

Just put the items in your Users>Shared folder - everyone can see that folder.

Hi Clinton thanks for your answer.. But it does not work for me. I put the folder under: Users > Shared Folder

and I still cant see it when I log in to the guest session.

I attached 2 screenshots.. Screen 1 shows how I placed the folder "movies" in the shared folder on my main account and Screen 2 shows you what I see when I log in as Guest.

Please let me know if Im doing something wrong,

Thanks,
