Chmod and permissions is for linux operating systems. You don't need to worry about it with xp. However, you can control who can do what in a directory by creating a directory container for it. If you check out you httpd.conf file, you will notice a few directory containers. They will look like this:

<Directory "/path/to/directory">

Order allow,deny
Allow from 192.168.1.20

</Directory>

This tells apache to evaluate the allow directive before the deny directive and set the default state to deny. The allow directive says only this ip is allowed in this directory.
