Here is my report. 
Sorry I forgot to tell that I am using wget 1.8.1:

***********
Can I use -P (Directory prefix) to save files in a user-determinded
folder on another drive under Windows?
I tried -PC:\temp\ which does not work (I am starting from D:\)
Also -P..\test\ would not save into the dir above the current one.
So I changed the \ into / and it worked.
However, I still could not save to another drive with -Pc:/temp
Any way around this? Bug/Feature? Windows/Unix problem?
***********

Once again: Saving is fine with /, but you cannot switch drives, at least
not on my WinME.

Exactly that is what I experienced. Is/will there be a way around this?
