Note also that backslash (\) is the escape character for Emacs Lisp strings
(as it is for Java strings) and so if you insist on using backslashes in
paths (not necessary, forward slashes work just as well on Windows), you
must double them, e.g.,
(setq load-path (cons "D:\\emacs-20.7\\jde-2.2.6" load-path))
Personally I avoid backslashes like the plague in paths.
