    If your Linux partition is ext3, there are two options I know of.

    Ext2Fsd http://www.ext2fsd.com/
    It's open source, and seemed fairly stable when I used it.

    Ext2IFS http://www.fs-driver.org/
    It is not open source, but still free to use. People who have used it seem to like it.

    I stopped using windows on my home pc entirely a year back (I have no current need of it), and tbh when i was using both (duel booting) any files I need to be accessible from both sides I just put on the windows side since I didn't trust giving windows programs access to Ubuntu
