How to configure the CIFS server

After installed alfresco community edition, I want to use CIFS to direct access the repository using windows explorer.
But I don't know how to use alfresco as a file server.
For example, I created a space under user home space, the detail page shows a link named "View in CIFS", the url is like "file://{myhost-name}a/Alfresco/….".
But I still can't use this url in windows explorer to access the space as a folder.
What should I do to configure alfresco to let it act as a remote file server to access files using explorer or mount a alfresco space as a network folder on a remote computer?

First thing is to turn cifs on.    Read the docs.

Then if you still have problems please post your configuration.
