Unixfs should'nt depend on the Z: drive beeing mapped to '/'. It even 
should'nt depend on '/' beeing mapped anywhere. I guess the problem you are 
seeing depends on the setting for the Desktop directory, which is generated 
automatically (There are a couple more registry entries, which depend on z:):

[Software\\Microsoft\\Windows\\CurrentVersion\\Explorer\\Shell Folders] 
1130228151
"Desktop"="z:\\home\\mjung\\Desktop"

If you remove or remap the 'Z:' drive afterwards without adjusting these 
registry settings, the desktop shellfolder object won't initialize any 
longer, which is why the file dialogs won't work.

Bye,
