What are you using? Chef-Server <-> chef-client mechanism or simply running
it locally with chef-solo?

Download the windows cookbook from the above given link (select the version which is compatible with your chef-client version.
Upload the windows cookbook to your chef server with knife.
Edit your existing cookbook’s metadata.rb file and define the windows cookbook as a dependency.
Now you can just use the windows_share resource i your cookbooks recipe
Upload the new version of your cookbook to the chef-server with knife

Happy that you have found a resolution that suits your needs.
It is not a healthy approach to extract/copy an LWRP from another cookbook. Do not be afraid to be dependent on the windows cookbook. Chef is designed to utilize cookbooks as building blocks.
