Wow, I just found tons of good uses!

You could "prank" people. Say if they want to go to their C:\Program Files\ folder, you could tell them to go to C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\.. and they would get all mad at you, then you could say JUST DO IT and they'd listen so then they would thank you.

It's mainly useful for subfolders with DLLs inside. Since the DLL is not in the main path, it has the wrong "app.path", which can cause problems. So you can either (A) manually remove all the text up to the first backslash (moving from the end) or (B) add "\.." to it...
