It's also just syntactically wrong which may be what threw you off. Those double backslashes should be single backslashes if someone's referencing a path at a drive letter. Windows will ignore the extra ones, though. C:\Windows\\\\system32 is a valid path, for example.
Oh, I hadn’t thought of that though I should have because I recently corrected double slashes in a codebase that interacts with Windows-based servers.
