Maybe because he wants to determine whether a path is absolute or not?
So that he can e.g. convert an absolute path to a relative one so he can
save this in a configuration in a more "portable" way. "subst" (or
adding the path to DosDevices in the registry which is the way I prefer
for persistent substing ;) ) might be a completely wrong solution or a
solution where you shoot cannonballs on little birds...
