Accessing vfat as read/write
 
I have a FAT32 partition setup so I can share stuff with Windows XP. The problem is that only the root can actually write to the folder, not a regular user. I think that it is how I set it up in the fstab file, but I am a newbie and am probably goofing it up. In fstab I have
dev/hda2 /mnt/Windows vfat defaults

I want anyone to be able to access the folder.
