  I can't believe I didn't know that. Thanks. Real bummer that you have to specify the drive letter. (At least on Win7, where I just tried it.) The behavior is kind of interesting for 'dir' at least: E:>dir "/" Directory of \\ File Not Found E:>dir \\ The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. Same result for «dir "//"». (For those not experienced with the Windows command prompt, seeing "Directory of \\" is unexpected, and seeing it means that something interesting must be going on.)
