[Github-comments] [geany] Geany does not work with network drives or a network drive mapped to a local folder (#689)

[Matthew Brush]

Is it because of that silly Windows bug where you can't `cd` into a folder on another drive, but first have to put the drive letter by itself to switch to that drive and then `cd` into the folder?

Like:
```
C:\Whatever> cd Z:\foo
<doesn't work>
C:\Whatever> Z:
Z:\> cd foo
<works>
```

IIRC there was some code added for Windows to override the normal/shortcut-chosen working directory, maybe it needs to do something fancier?
