OK it is clear.

So you grant UsersA Modify on ParentFolder and
set it to be inherited over all contained subfolders/files.

Now, UsersB has no permission of Filex down in some
subfolder, so you go to that file and add a grant of Read
on that one File.

Next, you make a shortcut toFileX using the full path
and place this on the desktop. Look at the properties of
the shortcut and make sure the Open in setting is not the
directory of FileX, but something the users can access,
like %HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%

Now, you open Documents and Settings, and copy this
shortcut from your .\desktop folder to the .\desktop folder
of All Users or of each account that is in UsersB group.
You copy it - not move it.

Finally, you check that all accounts in UsersB are either
also in Users or that the UsersB group is listed in the User
Right name Bypass Traverse Checking.

This does not work for you ?
