Since '/' is used as standard command line parameter separator, any command that uses standard Windows command line parameters can't accept a path with '/' as argument; it wouldn't know how to differentiate between a path element and an argument. Try C:\>dir "/windows/system32" That was one of the original reasons for using backslashes as path separator: the existing code base that used the slash as command line argument separator.
