[WinPartners] Permissions in XP

One of the physicists here is using a laptop with Windows XP.  He logs into 
the laptop at home to work and creates files.  When he uses that laptop to 
log into the domain at work, he does not have permission to see the files 
that he created (it is in a directory directly off of c: not in the my 
documents folder).  I logged into the domain as administrator and tried to 
add domain\user to the permissions, but it would only let me see the users 
on the machine name, not on the domain.  There must be an easy answer to 
this that I am missing.  These files are integral to the operation of the 
lab, so I have temporarily given him administative priviledges on the 
domain so that he can see the files.  There must be a better way.
