Ubuntu in Windows 7 (64 bits) File system installed using Wubi

I got Ubuntu 10.04 LTS intalled using Wubi.
That means Ubuntu resides inside Windows file / folder system.
It also means Ubuntu does not have its own partition.
Here is what I found out:

1) It cannot detect wireless network unlike Win 7 on this same laptop.
However, when I plug in ethernet cable, it was able to detect it.
Is there a fix this problem?

2) I cannot see Windows folders.
How do access windows folder from Ubuntu side and vice versa?

3) I forgot to set the disk space for Ubuntu during install and
I think the default is 17 GB.Would this cause me problems?
If so, what do I need to do?
How do I expand the disk space for Ubuntu?


Thanks for all the help.

*** of course, the first thing to do under winblows is to defrag, then shrink its partition(s) to make room
