Maybe the patch is not the problem.

However he says there is some problem there. I still think this is a good time to fix it. Looking at it again I get more confused. Does not the same thing happen on un*x like file systems? I mean does not all that stuff Eli mentioned get loaded if you try to complete a file name in the root on those systems too? (But perhaps you do not bump into the problem there that often?) At least it looks to me from the pattern that this must happen there too: ("\\`\\([a-zA-Z]:\\)?/[^/]*\\'" . tramp-completion-file-name-handler) Perhaps the right thing to do is to only match "/ssh:", "/ftp:", "/telnet:" etc and only bring in Tramp if those things matches?

I meant a Windows-specific change; is that what you meant? AFAICS, typing "/" on Unix does not automatically load Tramp. Michael, how hard would it be to special-case "\`[a-z]:/" on Windows so that matching files are never considered to be ``remote files''?

IIRC, there was the case that "/method:host:" was expanded to "C:/method:host:" by I-dont-know-which-package. Exactly because of this problem we have the `tramp-drop-volume-letter' function. I acknowledge, that it is an error which shall be fixed where it happens, and not in Tramp. But not easy to hunt, especially for a guy like me who doesn't work under w32. Best regards, Michael.

Exactly because of this > problem we have the `tramp-drop-volume-letter' function. We could do that nevertheless, and wait for someone to holler, couldn't we? I think punishing 95% of innocent users for the benefit of maybe 5% is wrong anyway, and some different solution should be found. I agree that we cannot find a better solution until we know the use-case. But leaving this code intact will never get us to that point.
