Re: C drive odd name

just go to your command prompt and type "cd.." and then again "cd.."( without inverted comas) until you get your c drive alone.

Or, even more simply... if you're at c:\Documents and settings\User\My Documents, or some really long path, you can simply type

cd \

and that will take you to the root of C:
