Hello Martin,

I was certain that the problem acctually exist in windows. Since
microsoft does not provide an easy means to report such things I decided
to report this way. That way other users may be informed of a security
risk that they would not be informed of by microsoft.

Thank you,
Thomas Abernathy.

roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in the 
faith, because you know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing 
the same kind of sufferings.
1PE 5:10 And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in 
Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and 
make you strong, firm and steadfast. 11 To him be the power for ever and ever. 
Amen.

Bug description:
This problem is probably with Windows xp home itself but I would like to report
here first.

dual boot xp home/ubuntu hardy 8.04.1 lts

I tried to gain access to a password protected user account on the xp partion
while running Ubuntu. I expected to be blocked just as I would if running xp. I
was not and gained access to all files and folders for the account.

This is a blessing since the password for the user was forgotten. But a curse
since this could be used to gain access to sensitive files on the windows
partition.
