accessing windows files from unix
Hello,
I am new to Unix and I would like to know how can I see my files from Windows desktop. When I type ls, I can see a list of files-directories including Desktop, but when I cd Desktop, and then ls there is a message 'Link to old Desktop'. (The big picture is to build a sundials library but the sundials-2.4 file that I have downloaded is in my Windows Desktop). Thank you
