Accessing my windows Application on Ubuntu
I am sure this is simple to do but as a newbie to UNIX i don't know much.
I have Ubuntu installed on my machine alongside windows 7.
How do i access all the folders, files and more importantly programs and softwares installed on Windows so i can use them in Ubuntu instead of going back and forth b/w windows and Ubuntu.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

None of the Windows apps will run under ubuntu. You will have to install wine on the ubuntu side.

ubuntu can mount your FAT32 and NTFS drives, example for NTFS:
