This is done with permissions.
How to disable Simple Sharing and set permissions on a shared folder in
Windows XP (Pro only)

HOW TO: Set, View, Change, or Remove File and Folder Permissions in
Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=308418
By default in XP Home, you can only make files and folders under My
Documents "private". Otherwise, to see the security tab in WinXP Home,
restart in Safe mode and log on with an account that has administrator
privileges. To get into Safe Mode, repeatedly tap the F8 key as the
computer is starting up. This will get you to the menu where you can
choose Safe Mode.
Note that the file system must be NTFS, not FAT32.
If you want more help, then post back with your version of XP (Home or
Pro), whether this is a single standalone computer, member of a domain
with a server (and if so, the server OS), or a member of a workgroup.
If you can give a better description of what you actually want to do
instead of the vague "I want to let some people read/write some files"
then you can get focused answers to help you accomplish your goal.
