the problem. I have taken ownership of my folders and that hasn't
changed the situation as suggested. When I do attempt to rename or move
my folders, I receive no message, and the file stays where it was, how
it was. This only happens with my folders, my files show no resistence
to being moved or renamed as I see fit.

I am running Windows Vista Home Premium Service Pack 1 and have owned
the computer for around one and a half years. Vista was pre-installed.
Thank you for your attention and thanks in advance for your help.

It is quite likely that the issue is being caused due to deletion of the Registry branch:
HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\exp lorer\FolderDescriptions
Pls see if Unable to move or rename files or folders in Vista helps you.
