You can not "make a domain in WINDOWS XP" because Win XP is a Workstation
Operating System, not a Network Operating System (NOS).
To create a Domain, you need a NOS, such as Win NT Server, Win 2000 Server,
or Win 2003 Server.
Once you have created a Domain, Win XP (Pro, not Home) can JOIN the Domain.

Though there is no point unless you have a large-ish network.

Sure there is, why do you think there isn't?
What is your definition of "large-ish"?

Why does your question have nothing to do with your subject line?

To create a domain, you would need to start with a server operating
system, such as WinNT 4.0 Server (may it rest in peace), Win2K Server,
or Windows Server 2003.

WinXP Pro, as a workstation operating system, is an excellent
choice for a client OS to use on the domain's workstations. WinXP Home,
however, is not designed to, nor can it truly be made to, join a WinNT,
Win2K or Win2K3 domain.
