Finally looked into how I could get UNC paths without having to configure any network shares. So these are in fact available, eg, \\localhost\C$\ is the same as C:\ - something probably not surprising to actual Windows users, but I just run Windows in a VM to test Jython on it.

So os.listdir(r"\\localhost\C$") works, but not os.mkdir(r"\\localhost\C$\foobaz"). Looks like the solution is to once again use Java NIO2 instead of depending on JNR for such functionality, as I suggested in my previous message (msg9499).
