Akkad,
You can temporarily disable Simple File Sharing in XP Home, to immediately
change permissions on specific folders. You cannot permanently disable Simple
File Sharing.
With XP Home, you can temporarily disable Simple File Sharing
by starting up in "Safe Mode with Networking".

With Simple File Sharing disabled, right click the desired folder, click Sharing
and Security, and share the folder. Then, click the Permissions button to
specify network access permissions, and click the Security tab to specify NTFS
file system permissions. A network user needs both permissions in order to
access the share.
For details how to set permissions, see this web site:
