If I recall correctly, the last time this was discussed, the prevailing
opinion was that this is *not* a bug.
GetFolderItem(path) does not attempt to parse " C:\Documents and
Settings\Bibi\Bureau\Requis\Medias\monChien.jpg" as an absolute path.
It attempts to interpret "C:\Documents and
Settings\Bibi\Bureau\Requis\Medias\monChien.jpg" as the name of a document.
You may add the optional pathMode parameter.
While path contains an invalid character, it still returns a valid
folderItem.
Alternatives:
1. Use the DocumentsFolder Function.
2. Use the SpecialFolder Module.
3. If you must, use something like Volume(0).child("Documents and
Settings").child ....
