Ambrus, Your right.
I tried doing: dir c:\\foo\bar - and Windows7 command prompt hanged But doing: cd c:\\foo\bar changes the directory correctly. Hehehhe, can we file a Windows 7 bug report? :P ;) LOL r/Alex -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Zsbán Ambrus Sent: Thursday, June 03, 2010 6:34 PM To: Beta forum Subject: Re: [Jbeta] Backward compatibility and backslashes On Wed, Jun 2, 2010 at 5:17 PM, Devon McCormick <[email protected]> wrote: > I noticed that > SYSTEMFOLDERS_j_ has an entry for 'gtk' that has a doubled backslash, e.g. > C:\Program Files\j701\system\extras\\util\gtk .

Try the following path in the command prompt cd > c:\\windows\\system32 I thought the double backslash was always legal between two directories, it was wrong only at the beginning of the path or after a drive letter, eg. "C:\FOO\\BAR" is right but "C:\\FOO\BAR" is wrong.
