JFileChooser points to desktop only. It does not show any other directories or disks
including CDROM and Floppy under Windows 98 and Windows NT.
To reproduce bug:
1- Compile and run the following code under Win98 and WinNT(jFileChooser.java)
2- In the "Look In" field, note that "Desktop" is displayed
3- Open the "ook In" ComboPanel
4- Note that No other directories are available
5- Repeat under Windows NT
