The Local Security Policy as well as the ability to create new
groups is only available in XP Professional. Whatever "manual"
you're looking at seems to have overlooked that fact.

FYI, in Windows XP Professional, you would go to Computer
Management -> Local User and Groups or enter lusrmgr.msc in the
Run box.
