Funny to see someone else using c:\opt on Windows (I do that too).

Anyways, I believe omitting C:/ from absolute paths in Vim is a
feature (personally, I like it). If you open Windows Explorer, and
enter /foo/ in the address bar (ctrl-d) it will take you to C:/foo/.
This is a Windows feature, and I guess Vim is reflecting it (either
intentionally or by accident). You can also try 'cd /' in cmd.exe.
