Not sure if this matters, but most cmd.exe internal commands recognize
forward slashes as indicating options, and some get confused by
forward slashes in file names:
C:\Users\npostavs>dir /b C:\temp
deleteme
C:\Users\npostavs>dir /b C:/temp
Parameter format not correct - "emp".
C:\Users\npostavs>del C:/temp/deleteme
Invalid switch - "temp".
C:\Users\npostavs>del c:\temp\deleteme
