I mounted it using fstab
Ah definitely add some mount options to give yourself access, uid and gid would be a good place to start, I think there may be others.
Some info https://askubuntu.com/questions/113733/how-to-mount-a-ntfs-partition-in-etc-fstab
Thanks for linking me to the to this page. I did some more diging and I managed to figure out the actual problem. I was using a program called CompactGUI2 which allows you to use the NTFS file comprssion to save space. The minute I uncompressed the files from the Windows side I saw the Lock icons go away when I booted back into Linux.
Cool! That's new to me, thanks for sharing your solution!
