in thread windows path problem

But you might want double quotes if you're going to be using the shell, as in 
system( "dir $path" );

[download]
rather than bypassing the shell 
system( 'dir', $path )';

Disclaimer: I'm a Unix guy. This would be true on Unix; does "MS-DOS 2010" still have a shell?

    No, you wouldn't. "\" is not special to the cmd shell, and it doesn't use "\" for escaping.
