It is unclear to me if you have attempted to address this issue as of this posting, but if you haven't, I thought I'd bring it up. When anyone writes a post on a board, the backslashes don't show up. When I preview the post, they are there just fine but when I actually post the message, they are no where to be seen.
This is quite frustrating when people are writing things like c: backslash windows backslash and all they see is c:windowsSystem32... I will write that out with backslashes: c:windowssystem32. They show up in the preview but not in the actual post.
c:/?
Oh wrong slash.
test to see if / works.
It's a Php issue. I believe you can insert a backslash (\) by escaping it with another backslash, much as you would in C. For example: \\.
If that doesn't work, you can also use ampersand/character entity enumeration, like this: \ (92 is the ASCII value for the backslash symbol).

Interestingly though, when you escaped it kai we got two of 'em. The php thing would've been my guess also though
You were supposed to see two of them, Simon. I was demonstrating how to actually write the backslash (I.E.: write two consecutive backslashes to make one single one appear). I actually had to write four backslashes to make those two backslashes show up as they did.

thus, c:\windows\system32 should display correctly. A simple rule of thumb: for every backslash you want, type two.

Nobody pointed out that I keep using the wrong slash.
The following will display correctly:
HKEY_Local_Machine\system\currentControlSet\Control
The following will not display correctly:
HKEY_Local_MachinesystemCurrentControlSetControl
