It's a Windows program - it can do whatever you program it to do!
On Windows the device is NUL, the root is the drive root C:\,
%SystemDrive%\ to be precise.
Well, since we're being precise: no.
%SystemDrive%\ is the root of the drive the system is on. That's not
"the" root any more than c:\, \ or any other such thing.
The actual answer would be: no DOS-style path (i.e. neither c:\ nor \)
can be usefully called "the" root on a Windows machine.
The closest to an actual root on a Windows system would be something
like \\?\ or \\.\
