Ok, I've now tested it on MS (and seriously have to get some sleep now)
and the results are:

1. Standalone app returns
	D:\Dev\simpletest\bin\Debug\

2. ASPX test page returns
	d:/www/christinahawkes/

So in neither case should file:// be at the front. Also, Exists will
return false if the path starts with file://

So, looks like the ASPX handling of AppDomain.CurrentDomain.BaseDirector
needs to remove the file:// from the start of what it returns.
