Windows XP, Vista, and 7 all have the possible problem of permissions/ownerships being messed up though I've never had it happen to me in XP. Microsoft doesn't acknowledge this as a "bug" that needs fixing and says it affects only a few users.
On the three Win7 systems I have I've experienced the probem within 3 days of startup. THere is no "fix" that I can find other than turning UAC control all the way to the bottom (basically going back to a single user system).
Microsoft apparently doesn't know how to do multi-user systems despite *nix and others figuring it out many decades ago.
