For Windows, don't you want the more specific version Chris posted?
  [a-zA-Z]:\\.*\|\\\\[^\\][^\\]*\\[^\\].*

Also, while I don't want to quibble about the regex more than necessary
right now, it should match the final slash in the path.  Either /.*/ or
\.*\ as the case may be.

Don't bother with the 'info exists' unless there's some need for it
that I'm missing.  Please capitalize Windows.
