OK... I'm assuming you downloaded the .iso onto your Windoze desktop and installed it "from" there. In that case, the operative word is "Wubi":

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/WubiGuide

Accessing stuff (applies to Wubi installs only):
The Windows partition where you installed Wubi is available as /host within Ubuntu (places > computer > file system > host) All the other partitions will be available under places > removable media

Moose:
Control Center > Hardware > Moose
