It looks like the rpm was written with coded users in some superuser group. Since they do not exist, the root user is assumed.
As for the windows partitions:
HOW-TO mount NTFS partition? - LinuxQuestions.org should give you some help.
essentially, you should modify your /etc/fstab for permanent mounts when the system boots. Either that or autofs for auto mounts on access would work.
You are going to have to create directories to be used as mount points.
If you wish, you could point them to directories on your desktop, or you could point them to directories off of / and create symbolic links
It comes down to preference.

ctrlaltdel
CTRLALTDEL(8) Linux Programmer's Manual CTRLALTDEL(8)
NAME
ctrlaltdel - set the function of the Ctrl-Alt-Del combination
SYNOPSIS
ctrlaltdel hard|soft
DESCRIPTION
Based on examination of the linux/kernel/sys.c code, it is clear that there are two supported functions that the Ctrl-Alt-Del sequence can
perform: a hard reset, which immediately reboots the computer without calling sync(2) and without any other preparation; and a soft reset,
which sends the SIGINT (interrupt) signal to the init process (this is always the process with PID 1). If this option is used, the init(8)
program must support this feature. Since there are now several init(8) programs in the Linux community, please consult the documentation
for the version that you are currently using.
ctrlaltdel is usually used in the /etc/rc.local file.
FILES
/etc/rc.local
SEE ALSO
simpleinit(8), init(8)
AUTHOR
Peter Orbaek (poe@daimi.aau.dk)
AVAILABILITY
The ctrlaltdel command is part of the util-linux-ng package and is available from ftp://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux-ng/.
