Works fine here in 2.3. You may have to add an extra slash
(e.g. "C://") in 2.2.5 to work around the weird way the path to the
root directory is specified in DOS (as discussed on this list a few
weeks ago). Of course, asking people to put stuff in the root
directory of any drive is a bad idea: there's already too much stuff
there on most systems and it can dramatically slow down the operation
of the system if you do this.
