The reason for double back-slashes relates back to unix-style strings (escape sequences). When you have a string value that just has "C:\somedir\newdir\subdir", you'll notice that embedded in this string (by unix convention) is the special escape sequence \n for a newline. But that's not what you wanted. what you wanted was a REAL backslash. Well, you'll have to escape sequence that too. And the escaped version is \\ (double back-slash).
