XP PRO: In Windows Explorer, go to Tools, Folder Options, View and =
uncheck Use Simple File Sharing. Now, when you right click on a drive, =
folder or file (on an NTFS partition) and select Properties, you'll see =
a Security tab. Here you can assign or deny permissions based on user =
name or user group membership.

XP Home: By default, you can only make files and folders under My =
Documents "private". This is done by right clicking a folder or file and =
selecting Properties, Sharing. To change the permissions on other =
folders, you need to boot the computer to Safe Mode and log in on the =
built in Administrator account. In this mode, you'll see the Security =
tab in Properties, and you can assign permissions based on user name or =
group membership.

Security tab appear outside of Safe Mode)
