When I use the above regexp in the earlier patch and try to open file:
"//wolfdei/d/users/dhruva/_emacs", I get the following error:
not: Invalid regexp: "Unmatched ( or \\("

I am not good in GNU Emacs regexp to fix this. If we have a working
solution for this, I will be looking forward to having the patch (with
the above mentioned changes) in main stream.

with best regards,
