You can create a partition in fat or ntfs
Or create the directory in windows, and mount it in Linux
Linux can use fat or ntfs, windows however can't use ext3

By a shared directory, do you mean you are dual-booting, or are you referring to a network share on your Linux computer accessible from a Windows computer?
