I just installed mandrake 9.1 on my computer, and it co-exists with windows on different partitions on my computer, I read somewhere that I can access things I have on windows through linux. How do you do this because I need to be able to access aol from windows and use it while I'm on linux. Also another thing that bothered me was that when I set up linux it asked me what desktop I wanted to use and I put KMD or something like that... It is exactly identical to windows and is too easy to use, I was wondering if there were more challenging desktops to use and if there are how would I change it from the one that I have.

*P.S- The other desktop choices it gave me was GNOME, DEFAULT, and two others



Thanks to everyone in advance for answering
