Huge Bug in security Filesystem of NTFS ?

Hi people,

on my Vista Ultimate I have just create another user account, (for a friend
of my) how is only members of USERS

on my HDD E:\ the security rights are those:

Authenticated users = ~Full control
SYSTEM = ful control
Administrators = full control
and
Users = Read & execute, List folder contents, Read

but with this new account I can still remove thing on E:\ !!!!!!!!

(the security settings of the delete test file are the same as the root
Disk)

So what happen ??

You cannot see Authenticated Users under Local Users & Groups as it not a
group you can add or remove anyone from.
It is a computed group that represents all accounts that are currently
correctly authenticated by the local security subsystem on that device.

The dynamic group "Authenticated Users" was added in Windows NT 4.0 Service
Pack 4. It is hardly new.

I never said it was new - maybe you meant to reply to the original poster.
