I suggest to use file-accessible-directory-p instead of
file-attributes, the former is much cheaper on MS-Windows.
And if you are wondering why file-accessible-directory-p works where
file-directory-p doesn't, then the reason is that the latter
internally removes trailing slashes, so file-name-as-directory has no
effect in that case.
