Cats is a musical that premiered in the early 1980's with Pop music. And it's 1998 DVD recording is free on Youtube.

Microsoft has some strange ideas about filesystem layouts in general and drive letters are strange as well. Specificly Microsoft is unsure about what are valid drive letters. The GUI (explorer) hides all those tricks, meaning they can be used to hide data. They are still accessible, though. They work at least since Windows NT 4 and still work in Windows 10 and will probably continue to work for quite a long time.
