Details:

Function fullfile should allow double backslash to apear at the begining of
the path to support network drive paths on Windows platform.

e.g.

fullfile('\nas.lanshare1', 'folder', file.ext')

shoud return:


\nas.lanshare1file.ext

not

nas.lanshare1file.ext


Simplest way to achive that functionality would be by changing fullfile.m:62
from:

filename(strfind (filename, [filesep filesep])) = "";

to

filename(ispc() + strfind (filename(1 + ispc():end), [filesep filesep])) =
"";
