You can have my drive letters, when you pry them from my cold dead fingers!

:-)

(I can't see Microsoft ever eliminating drive letters.  Too many things 
depend on the concept of "current drive".)

BTW, you can preface a full path with "\\?\" to turn it into a UNC.  For 
example, to list "c:\appl\fp" on the current system:

     dir \\?\c:\appl\fp
