The reason you're seeing the extra backslashes is because the command line needs a way to differentiate a literal space from a separate command. Take for example, the command Ping computer name How's the computer supposed to interpret this command? Is it supposed to ping "computer" with the optional command input "name"? The proper way to write this command would be: Ping computer\ name The extra backslash tells the program that "computer name" is what you're trying to ping. The "\ " means that there is a literal space in this block of text, rather than causing the space to say that "computer" and "name" are two separate blocks of text. I'm not starting a new block of text. But wait, what if you actually need to specify a backslash character? Well, you need to double it, then. "\\" means "literal backslash" the same way that "\ " means "literal space" This is why you're seeing double backslashes in command. It is normal.
