That tutorial looks OK. Registration is just one page and mostly a formality. Although, the tutorial is strictly for configuring Samba as a PDC (Primaray Domain Controller) and not everyone wants to do that. It says if you have more then one machine you want to use with Samba on a network (as I do), then you don't want to use their configuration.

For one time use you can either use
smbclient //<winip-here>/<share-here> -U <username> -P <password>
( see man page )
or
mount -t smbfs -o username=xx,password=yy,rw //<winip-here>/<sharename-here> /mnt/share

( if your kernel has smbfs support )

If you want the mounts to persist across reboots, I'd add a line like this to /etc/fstab. Assuming the name of the share is music.

//<windows-ip>/music /mnt/music smbfs username=xxx,password=yyy,rw 0 0

It will prompt you in all cases if you omit the password.
