You can't do that using native XP features. The folders will be visible even if totally
inaccessible.
Why do you want to create folders on the desktop? Make more sense to create them
under another folder on the hard drive, and use shortcuts to them (which can be on
the desktop). Depending on how complicated your network/user structure is, you could
include shortcuts to appropriate folders in the desktop folder for relevant user
profile. Could use batch files at startup to copy relevant shortcuts to user profile
desktop. But I wonder if you've properly thought through what you want?
