[IPython-dev] using magic_cd when on a network share gives error message

[Jörgen Stenarson]

On windows using magic_cd when current directory is on a network share 
gives an error message complaining about not being able to launch 
cmd.exe on a network share.

I tracked down the problem to the set_title command which makes a system
call via os.system.

I have attached a patch that just change directory to c: temporarily. 
There is also an example implementation using ctypes included that does
not need this workaround.
