(Did I explain why before? I think I missed it.)

In a cmd.exe console window you can actually do things like

  C:\>  dir "c:/path/to/my/files/dir/"

It works as long as the last component is not a file instead of a 
directory. Then it fails. I did not notice that last case when I tested 
so I believed it worked in all cases on w2k, that is why I asked Will to 
test. So, yes, it was a useless test unfortunately ;-)

Now I am just waiting for Will's report with using my patched version of 
emacsclient.exe where I have changed path to Emacs bin dir to use only \ 
before calling CreateProcess.
