Windows is supposed to be able to be able to handle anything for a drive letter now. I have seen
the Euro symbol used for a drive letter. It would be more inituitive to the user to have unix:/
rather than Z: but I don't think GetLogicalDriveStrings() can handle this

so you would need to use RtlDosFilenameToNtFilename or whatever it was called and do some magic
with the object manager such as pointing to \\.\unix\ and maybe add "unix:" to the list of
built-in device names (like LPTx, AUX, NUL, etc.). Then you might be able to hack a dialog to
point to the device name.
Thanks
Steven
