    No idea when this happened but you can also use forward slashes in Windows. So typing c:/users into the Explorer address bar works.

      You can even mix and match! C:\tmp/file.txt is valid. Very helpful for cross-os compatibility.

      Beat me to it. It works in CMD/PowerShell too. It’s easier to just train your muscle memory to always use / regardless of platform

      I use forward slashes in all of my software’s paths, so I don’t have to fiddle around with it when I’m porting to Linux (in the future, I’ll likely go from “dev on Windows, port to Linux” to "dev on Linux, port to Windows).
