UFS Explorer is thee tool that allows you to browse your alternative filesystems and extract files from there. At now it supports user-mode read-only support for ReiserFS/Ext2/Ext3 Linux filesystems as well as FAT (12/16/32) that is useful feature with disk images (RAW/VMWare).

Why to use it? Because of it gives you really efficient way to access your files, located on your disk partitions that are not accessible normally.
Why read-only? Because of you do not need this really! Alternative OS, like Linux, have at least read-only access to your Windows partitions, so you may transfer files there with no problems.
Why not a driver? Because of any incorrect action in driver will crash your OS. Read-only access from user-mode is the safest way to do same job with no risks!
