Second that. Also take Michael's advise and tar what ever you want to
save. You can do it from the command line as he suggested, or you can do
it from the Archive Manager (File Roller 2.14.4). If you don't have it
installed (you probably do) then:

sudo apt-get install file-roller

It will appear in: Applications|Accessories|Archive Manager

With AM you can even save as a Zip, 7-Zip, etc., if you need to open &
access on your windows system.

For future reference, you can also create a Root Nautilus file browser
so that you just click & open from: Applications|System Tools|File
Browser (Root). Follow the instructions here (instructions are the same
for both Dapper and Edgy):
