Windows drive navigation enabled (unpolished)

[Dipsorum]

Hi, I made these changes for a work project and I'm sharing them in case they can be useful.
The changes allow you to browse Windows drives through the file explorer (see screenshot).

The use of basedir="*" enables the feature.

Without actually testing it, you could probably use UNC paths to accomplish something similar without modifying the software in this way.

As a general rule of thumb, it is fairly dangerous to expose the entire physical file system of an OS to a web browser without applying appropriate protections (minimally login + XSRF tokens). In my extensive experience, people tend to lack good security hygiene, so I'm generally against these sort of changes no matter how cool they might seem on the surface.
