I have a few computers that are not on a domain. Is
there a way for me to allow regular users and power users
to share folders on their hard drive?

Thanks!
 
Make sure the workgroup name is the same as the domain
name. Microsoft can be tricked into thinking the system
is part of a domain if the workgroup and domain names are
the same.

Simply share the folder on the hard drive, then have the
users map a drive to the share.
 
If you set the workgroup of those who are not on the
domain to the name of your domain, they will appear in
Network Neighborhood/Network Places.

You can then write a batch file that you put in the
startup folder that can attach to the drives using the net
use command.
