<dump> Microsoft Windows XP [Version 5.1.2600] (C) Copyright 1985-2001 Microsoft Corp. C:\temp>cd \ C:\>cd /windows/system32 C:\WINDOWS\system32>cd /windows/system32 The system cannot find the path specified. C:\WINDOWS\system32>cd \ C:\>cd /windows C:\WINDOWS>cd /system32 C:\WINDOWS\system32> REM wtf? </dump> Nice to see consistancy at work. Looks like leading slashes are stripped and so it trys to find it relative to the current path. Nothing like predictable, cross-platform implementations there.
