You do this with setting permissions. Read the articles in "Help" about
"System Administration" and then go from there.

This is not how XP works. Setup the right permissions for this. Read
the "help" articles about "System Administration" to learn more.

If you must use password protection, purchase a 3rd party add-in product
that does it this way. But this is completely unnecessary.
