Default Windows XP Professional

I am not sure if this is the right area to post but I was wondering if anyone could point me in the right direction to maximize my Windows XP Professional. My understanding is that the OS is supposed to have additional security features that are username specific. I would like to be able to restrict other users of my PC in regards to folder, external hard drive, download, and external hard drive access. Does anyone know of anywhere I could get some walk thu's of this? I have had problems with this PC not running correctly and items disappearning. I created the usernames but do not know how to restrict specific access for each individual.

Ex: Disable right click access.
Ex: User 1 would have access to C drive, User 2 would not.


Any help would be appreciated.
