What are some ways I can password protect or user protect files and directories?

Do I need to set up a domain to do so? Can I get some recommendations please?

I am guessing that this could get crazy intense, so I hope someone will have some patience with me. I am interested in methods for both XP and Vista.

Thanks in advance for the ideas/suggestions/explanations, etc...
 
Assuming you're trying to protect dirs/files from remote access, as properly running
multiple users on the same system isolates all LUA users from one another.

First, control access to the box using network features (eg: firewall)

Second, control the directory access using a password

Third, and only if absolutely required, you can control specific files using ACLs
