Karl,

I have not tested the following out with USB sticks, but there is an
ext2/3 installable driver for Windows which I have installed and it
works fine for getting to my Ubuntu hard disk partition from Windows, so
it probably will work for USB sticks too. 

I can read AND write AND create AND delete files. The restrictions are
primarily in managing rights and ownerships.

Without rebooting to Windows, I cannot give you chapter and verse, but
if you google for 'ext2 windows' then I am sure you will find it easily.
Although it is called an ext2 driver it works fine with ext3 as well.
