Funny to see someone else using c:\opt on Windows (I do that too). Anyways, I believe omitting C:/ from absolute paths in Vim is a feature (personally, I like it). If you open Windows Explorer, and enter /foo/ in the address bar (ctrl-d) it will take you to C:/foo/. This is a Windows feature, and I guess Vim is reflecting it (either intentionally or by accident). You can also try 'cd /' in cmd.exe. --- Justin M.
