JFileChooser misses to solve root-pathname
without drive name, e.g. "\WINDOWS".

try this:

%cd \jdk1.2.1\demo\jfc\FileChooserDemo

%java -version
java version "1.2.1"
Classic VM (build JDK-1.2.1-A, native threads)

%java -fullversion
JAVA.EXE full version "JDK-1.2.1-A"

%java FileChooserDemo

1. Click [Show FileChooser] in the FileChooserDemo window.
   Then filechooser dialog appear.

2. Enter "C:\Program Files" to file name field.
   Then the fileview change to "C:\Program Files".
   It is good.

3. Enter "\WINDOWS" to file name field.
   Then the file chooser close a dialog and show message that
   "You chose file file: C:\Program Files\WINDOWS".
   It is not good.
   I expect to change directory to "C:\WINDOWS" in this case.

I think that the javax.swing.filechooser.WindowsFileSystemView
has a bug.
The WindowsFileSystemView#createFileObject(String) should
complement a drive name of current directory for a "\dir-name".
(Don't complement a drive, for a UNC e.g. "\\server-name".)
