    File Path Question


    Hello,

    Never thought about this at all, but I have to enter the file path to a Folder.

    What is the correct number of backslashes after the C: ?
    Is it one or two ?

    e.g.

    C:\Windows\System32\.... or,

    C:\\Windows\System32\...

    Does it matter ?

    Thanks,
    Bob
