Re: Windows Linux Subsystem - Accessing Files outside of Ubuntu
I'm not sure if I'm misunderstanding your question, but your ubuntu bash (top right window) should have access to your Windows-based disks under `/mnt`. For example, on my machine `/mnt/c/Users/Scott/Desktop` is my Windows desktop and I can read/write files there from vi for ex. I don't believe the opposite is true just yet. That is, I don't think you can explore into your bash world from Windows explorer.
What I've been doing as a developer is to host projects on my d: and point the linux-based tools to that `/mnt/d/projects/someproject/` folder.
Make sure you update your Windows builds periodically as they seem to be fixing a lot of issues with each build, especially around sym-links and crossing FS boundaries between Linux/Windows.
