File.expand_path

[Thomas008]

Using File.expand_path for absolute paths, there is a tiny difference to the win32ole-library:

File.expand_path("C:abc") => "C:/current_directory/C:abc"

while with win32ole: File.expand_path("C:abc") => "C:/current_directory/abc"

When using the '/' after C: , then everything is fine: File.expand_path("C:abc") => "C:/current_directory/abc"
