Ah well for wat XP home edition goes on, i have put in that specific user whom 
i threw out of the group users into another group i created

again from a windows command box.
i added a group called SshAllow

>net localgroup SshAllow /add

now there is a group called SshAllow

added that user   to this group

>net localgroup SshAllow [USERNAME] /add

And after that do a mkpassword and mkgroup in cygwin 
 
mkuser -l > /etc/passwd   
mkgroup -u -l > /etc/group
 
login (via ssh preferably)  as that user and give the command 
 
$groups


Still this user is in the group users.
