It sounds as though you may want to work an FXDriveBox widget into your 
browser as well, as least for the Windows version. I guess maybe none 
of the example programs use this widget, but it's basically a subclass 
of FXListBox that lets you select a drive. You should then be able to 
use that information to modify the path shown by the FXDirList or 
FXFileList.
