I've always avoided Windows installs onto NTFS on dual boot
boxes, or ensure user files are on FAT32 and keep the OS files
on NTFS for better security.

However my mount manual page does imply you can choose an
ordinary user and group (uid, gid options) to have access to
NTFS files in the mount options.

Perhaps you can also specify a selection of mounts for different
users for the same filesystem, although I don't think you'll be
able to mount it twice it might work to allow an ordinary users
access to their own files. Give it a try - see what the error is ;-)

Sound eminently fixable to me.
