You can thank microsoft for the fact that you even need to worry about a backslash. Slashes have always been used on Unix systems to separate folders and hyphens have always been used to indicate options since the early 70s. (they are still used on everything but windows including URL's. But Microsoft decided to use slashes (/) for options in their DOS so when they introduced folders sometime later they had to come up with a different symbol hence the silly backslash (\). Since they controlled the keyboard they stuck it on.
