isdir, isfile broken under windows XP?

[Matt Gerrans]

I think it is just the fact that 'recycler' also exists in the current
directory (os.path.abspath(os.curdir)).   Since listdir is not returning the
fully qualified names, your isdir() is looking for those things in the
current directory.   So maybe something like this will do the trick:

filter( lambda a: os.path.isfile('f:\\'+a), os.listdir('f:\\') )

(you could use os.path.join() also).
