Best way to Map Windows network folder on Mac. Leopard and Snow Leopard

I have a client that has quite a few Mac's on a Windows domain network.  the machines are a mixture of OSX Leopard and Snow Leopard.  I am trying to enable the Mac users to be able to save files easily to a Windows shared folder on a server that is backed up regularly to prevent them from loosing data.  I would like to map the network share on their machine to have them have the share available without drilling down through the network to find the shared folder.  Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Okay Rob I will try this tomorrow when I travel to the client site.  Thanks. and will post back if it works or I need more info.
Rob, the server is Win2003.  How do I make sure the Service for Mac is not enabled?  I may have enabled it a long time ago when the server was first configured a couple of years ago.
You can look at the service list on the server side and it'll have a service listed as Service for Macintosh.  Also if you can create a share that allows "Apple" clients then it's on as well.

Or if you connect to the server afp://<put ip here> and you get a prompt, it's probably on.
Heath,  The user I needed to apply this to was busy at their machine today and could not allow me to make any changes.  I'll try again tomorrow.  
Thanks, seems to be working fine.
