I didn't want them auto-mounting at boot. What you have happening is
the drives are mounted at boot and the user is root. If you want them
mounted automatically at boot time, try changing defaults to:

   defaults,users

(I'm not sure that works) or:

   user=yourusername,noexec,umask=000

More info in:

   man mount
   man fstab

Also, try searching this ng on groups.google.com, there have been many
suggestions about this in the past.

Sorry, I don't have any Windows boxes to test any of this . . . :-)
