I don't think it is related to the dual boot or boot.ini. It sounds like
the default rights have somehow been messed up, or the user is somehow

Administrative Tools, Local Security Policy. Computer Configuration,
Windows Settings, Security Settings, Local Policies, User Rights
Assignment.

Double-click 'Shut down the system' - who has that right?
