Here is a free program I found that might be of use to a few of the Linux users.

If you would like to run Windows [Why - I don't know] and be able to see the contents of the Linux partitions - look for Linux-Reader at this site http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/

You get an Explorer type view of the Linux drives and can copy files to the Windows partitions.

Note: You cannot write to the Linux partition .

sounds like a good app... good for dual boot situations.
but if its two different computers networking is still
the best way.

I'd be interested in knowing what it means by "While saving, it ignores file security policies.". Does that mean it can read, then copy (for example) my /etc/fstab without a root password? Somehow I doubt that.
