Research direction
Start by locating the .set_directory entry point and tracing how Windows paths such as Z:/xxx\yyy and \\?\UNC\Server\home\xxx\yyy are handled. Verify the behavior for a network-mapped starting directory and confirm the fallback to the user's Documents folder when the path cannot be used.
