I know some may consider this a security issue, but I am the only one on the computer. I am able change the permissions on /mnt to the user. But am unable to change the permissions for /mnt/windows even as root. One of the great things about Linux is that it isn't one-sided like windows. You can view, transfer,.. other filesystems. Sometimes I need to transfer files to windows, but always have to do so as root. It is a pain to be the only user of a computer and have to always go to root to do something like that. I realize that going to root has it's risk, but it is my computer and I should be able to transfer files. File Manager (SU mode) is fine, but you have to copy and paste, other managers let you browse to where you want it. If that would be changed I guess I could live with it, otherwise.
