Configuring destop settings

This is what I want to do:
Create a dozen folders on the desktop.
Asign permissions on some of the folders to allow some users or groups access.
Only the files which share a group permission and user permissions will appear on
the desktop for the respective user account.
And lastly, if the above is all possible (somehow),
To have remote computers look to this computer for what icons and files they should
be showing on their desktop.

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?

under documents and settings/all users/desktop, is what all the users on a single
computer will see on their desktop. in the same path, except with all users/start
menu/programs/startup, is what will start automatically for all the users on the
same comp. you can create multiple user accounts, and put the shortcuts on the desktop
or startup folder. the permissions can be changed from the admin account through
control panel/user accounts.
