Virtual drive removal

Hello
I am using FreeCommander XE 665 on Windows 8.1 x64. I seen this bug on all XE versions that I tested.
I am using the ImDisk Virtual Disk Driver, and when a volume is dismounted, the two panels are automatically redirected to the root of the drives ("This PC" or "Computer" in previous versions of Windows).
For example, one panel is at the folder "C:\", and the other one at "D:\xxxx". A virtual disk X: is dismounted. After that, the first and second panels are showing the content of "This PC".
As a developper, I made several tests and I found the origin of this behavior: the DBT_DEVICEQUERYREMOVE notification. As Microsoft recommends to use this notification when a drive is dismounted, I think this is an issue of FreeCommander.
