Error Renaming Files and Folders in Home Directory

I have a user who cannot rename folders or files within their own Home Directory
on their laptop only. When we navigate to their H: Drive and create a folder, it
automatically creates a folder called "NEW FOLDER". When the user goes to rename
the folder, we get this error message:
Error renaming . Access Denied. Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected
and that the file is not currently in use.
When I log into the domain as the user on any other machine and I can create and
rename as many new and established folders as I want. No error message. All is working
fine on the other computers but not on her own machine.
This leads me to believe that it is not a problem with the User's account and permissions,
but something locally on the user's laptop itself. The user has local admin rights
on their own PC and I've tested her account on other machines both with and without
local admin rights. Everything works fine on all other than her own machine.

I have tried to log on as another user on this computer, but get's the same error
in the home directory, and when i tries to change or edit anything in other network
shares, there is no problem, only in the home directory.

How to take ownership of a file/folder/drive
Note You must be logged on to the computer with an account that has administrative
credentials. If you are running Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, you must start
the computer in safe mode, and then log on with an account that has Administrative
rights to have access to the Security tab.
If you are using Windows XP Professional, you must disable Simple File Sharing. By
default, Windows XP Professional uses Simple File sharing when it is not joined to
a domain.
To take ownership of a file/folder/drive, follow these steps: - Right-click
the file/folder/drive that you want to take ownership of, and then click Properties.
- Click
the Security tab, and then click OK on the Security message (if one appears).
- Click
Advanced, and then click the Owner tab.
- In the Name list, click Administrator,
or click the Administrators group, and then click OK. The administrator or the Administrators
group now owns the file/folder/drive. To change the permissions on the files and
folders under this folder, do the following:
- Click Add.
- In the
Enter the object names to select (examples) list, type the user or group account
that you want to give access to the file. For example, type Administrator.
- Click
OK.
- In the Group or user names list, click the account that you want, and then
select the check boxes of the permissions that you want to assign that user.
- When
you are finished assigning permissions, click OK.

Thanks, but this did'nt work because the copmputer is joined to a domain, and the
share is on the server, all the permissions on the drive is correct. When I log in
as the user on another computer, she has permisions to change and rename documents.
When I log in with another user on her computer, I get the same problem as she has.
