By the way, you can ignore the bit I wrote above about using "c|"
instead of "c:". That's no longer allowed by the current URI
specification. A strictly-correct file-scheme URL on Windows would use
"c%3a" for the drive letter and colon.

The main point, in a case like this, is that the backslash (\) is not
a valid URI character, nor is it the URI component separator for a
hierarchical path. A valid file-scheme URL must use the forward slash
(/). There's nothing OS-dependent about that; it's required by the URI
specification.

That doesn't mean it's not useful to ask these questions, of course.
Understanding why LyX doesn't show page breaks means understanding the
