It just cannot.
O.M.G. Betty, I literally can't even!
Same.
I was about to comment that this is so fake, but it turns out I’ve been on Linux/UNIX too long and flags, paths just look super janky in Windowsland.
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.
