Hi All.
Recently I bought a new laptop for usability purpose of my wife I created some
folders by Name C:\ D:\ E:\ and mounted  3 partitions (as she is a win user),
lately I have observed if hit tab againt these 3 dir , it does not exposes
files/dir which is contained. Which generally doesnot happens.
