If it's for home use, i.e. only a few users. You can log on to each user in windows and right click on My Documents and "move" that to a folder on the FAT32 partition. Then in ubuntu you can do a symlink into each users home directory of the relevant "my documents" directory. This is a fairly transparent way to make the same docs structure available to both. Unfortunately most of these approaches dont' give security other than at the partition level so they have limited applicability outside a home environment.<BR>
