There's also explore2fs (http://uranus.it.swin.edu.au/~jn/linux/explore2fs.htm) which seems to do pretty much the same thing. Not sure if it supports writing to linux partitions though.

Actually I was looking for something excactly like this. I knew there was an ugly hack around, but this seems quite nice.
Thanks :)

I've used explore2fs before, but I found it made Windows quite unstable. It'd crash about every second boot. You're much better off with a shared FAT partition, I think.
