Yeah, but I haven't used PHP Shell in years and I'm no longer the
maintainer...

Looking at the code I see that it's very Unix-centric :-( It does

      if ($regs[1]{0} == '/') {
        /* Absolute path, we use it unchanged. */
        $new_dir = $regs[1];
      } else {
        /* Relative path, we append it to the current working
         * directory. */
        $new_dir = $_SESSION['cwd'] . '/' . $regs[1];
      }

where $regs[1] woudl be "C:\" in the example above. So it's no wonder
that it doesn't work very well on Windows.

I hope the new administrator can look at it:
