How can I create a folder (actually, the root of a tree
of folders) that are accessible to a set of named users,
but not to others?

I'm using Windows XP Home. I'm new to this O/S, although
fairly experienced with Windows 2000 Pro, Windows NT, and
Windows 98 SE. I just picked up this computer last night,
so have only a couple of hours experience with XP.

THANKS!!!
 
You cannot do that in XP Home.
Home is permanently within Simple sharing mode
(which is only optional in Pro)
In this mode, all incoming network accesses are
remapped to Guest before the file access happens,
which basically removes you ability to make the
type of distinction you seem to be after.
