[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I have my C and Java sources files stored in multiple drive; in C drive and D drive. I am vibrant speedbar user, especially with its quick and rapid file access functionality including access to header files. However it cannot access two drives simultaniously. D driver is not accessible from speedbar, because I install emacs 
IDE  editor in C:\Program Files\emacs-23.3.

The only way to access the D drive is actually by using the Open File on Menu bar, then once a file.c or file.java is on emacs Buffers depository thats when speedbar can allocate the D drive. So it`s only possible due to the current existing file on Buffers. 

It`s probably one of those features that haven`t been added yet or something like that. 

I am running: GNU Emacs 23.3.1(i386-mingw-nt5.1.2600)
ON: Microsoft Windows XP Professional -vs 2002 SP2.
Computer: Intel Pentium II Processor
   365MHz, 128 MB of Ram:

(I'm going through old bug reports that unfortunately got no response at
the time.)

Are you still seeing this issue in recent Emacs versions?

More information was requested, but no response was given within a
month, so I'm closing this bug report.  If the problem still exists,
please respond to this email and we'll reopen the bug report.
