    but thats the thing that confuses me, what is the point of these permissions if you can just go around them with another os? this is just a limitation for windows itself, i dont get it

      Well how else would that work? You need a piece of software to enforce the permissions. Once that Software is gone, nothing exists to stop you.

        but then dont call it a security thing, its just an annoyance. you encrypt your data if you dont want others to read it.
