      JDK : JDK1.5.0-b09
      Platform[s] : Windows 2000 Pro
      switch/Mode : Plugin + NS7.0

      File.exists() and File.isDirectory() calls for "A:" drive can cause a dialog box
      "There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive A:" to appear.
      File.listRoots() works fine in this build.

      Please, see bugid#4850616 for more details.


      How to reproduce:
      =================
      1. Install j2sdk1.5.0-b09 on Win2000 box with Netscape 7.0 installed.
      2. Place into your home directory .java.policy file with all permissions enabled.
      3. Copy the following applet and html files on the local disk.
      4. Compile applet and open test.html. NOTE: Use desktop link to start Netscape.
      You will see message
      "Netscp.exe - No disk
      There is no disk in the drive. Please insert a disk into drive A:.
      [Cancel] [Try again] [Continue]"

      ----- test.java -----
      import java.applet.*;
      import java.io.File;

      public class test extends Applet
      {
            public void start() {
      System.out.println("is A: a directory ?: "+(new File("A:")).isDirectory());
      System.out.println("does A: exist() ?: "+(new File("A:")).exists());
            };
            public static void main( String[] args ) {
      System.setSecurityManager( new sun.applet.AppletSecurity() );
      (new test()).start();
            };
      }
      ----- end of test.java -----
