I've written an iPhone app that uses CocoaHttpServer to share the Documents/ folder of the app. This works very well, and I can list the files over WiFi from my Windows machine using a browser. (eg. http://192.168.1.4:424242 ). The only downside is that users have to save the file from the browser before they can actually use it.

But what I would like to know is if I could make the files appear inside Windows Explorer like the network shares (eg. \\192.168.1.70). What protocol is needed for this case? Is it smb (samba)?

I am also a little confused about Bonjour. Will Bonjour be useful in conjunction with the http server scheme I am using?

My goal is to provide a convenient way for users to access these files from Windows as well as OS X.

Since you already have an http server implemented you may want to read up on WebDAV and see if you can extend CocoaHttpServer to support it. Would be a fun project.
