1. How can you create a user account only with access to internet (no
programs starting, no folders to read or write).
It depends on your situation. Is this a company running XP Pro workstations
with a domain, your home computer, or a company with a few XP Home
computers in a Workgroup?
You can run IE in kiosk mode, run your workstations as thin clients, use
Group Policy or SteadyState, etc. Lots of ways but you forgot to tell us
anything about your computer(s) and your situation.
2. How can you password protect My documents folder?
You don't. XP and Vista do not use passwords to protect resources. NT-based
operating systems use permissions instead. Here is information to help you
with that:

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.
Passwording of folders is not supported unless you zip them. When you do
(right click a folder, then "send to > compressed folder") and then open the
zip file, you will find an option under file>"add a password". Otherwise,
use third-party software. Google "password protect folders".
If you need more specific help, provide more details. This will help you:
