Getting windows to see Linux Partition

Yeah, so I got Linux to see my NTFS partition. Now can I get WinXP to see my ext2 partition? Partition Magic sees my Linux Partition, now if only I could access the files.

Total Commander can (with plugins you can download from its site). Windows itself doesn't include support for Linux filesystem, as far as I know.

with Partition Magic 8.0 open, select the Linux partition, either right-click or look at the toolbar on the left, and select "browse". While in the file browser, you can right-click & copy files, then choose an XP partition from the drop-down menu, and right click and paste. Do all of this while still in the file manager window. Then you can access your file through an XP/Windows explorer window.
