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 Smilie

NAME
xfdesktop - The Xfce 4 Desktop Environment's desktop manager SYNOPSIS
xfdesktop xfdesktop [options] DESCRIPTION
xfdesktop manages the desktop itself in the Xfce 4 Desktop Environment. This includes drawing the desktop backdrop and providing a right- click applications menu and middle-click window list menu, as well as drawing icons on the desktop. Only one instance of xfdesktop can be running at a time, and should be started by running xfdesktop without any arguments. OPTIONS
--reload Causes an already-running instance of xfdesktop to reload all its settings, including loading a new random backdrop if using a back- drop list. --menu Causes an already-running instance of xfdesktop to pop up the applications menu at the current position of the mouse cursor. --windowlist Causes an already-running instance of xfdesktop to pop up the window list menu at the current position of the mouse cursor. ENVIRONMENT
xfdesktop's behavior is affected by the following environment variables. XDG_CONFIG_HOME Specifies the root for all user-specific configuration files. If this environment variable is not present, it defaults to ~/.config XDG_CONFIG_DIRS Specifies a colon-separated list of system directories in which to search for configuration data. If this environment variable is not present, it defaults to /etc/xdg FILES
xfdesktop searches for a menu description file in $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/menus/xfce-applications.menu. xfdesktop can also use a user-customized menu in $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/menus/. BUGS
Please report any bugs to http://bugzilla.xfce.org/. Development discussion should be conducted on the xfce4-dev@xfce.org mailing list. Usage-related questions should be directed to the xfce@xfce.org mailing list. HOMEPAGE
