First of all, did you change the path also here?
   or better: define a variable and use it in both spots.

Second, hardcoding "\\" is the worst approach at assembling a
  file name from components.  See the docu for File class for
  a static field that contains the appropriate separator char
  for the current platform.  For test code, "/" is often good 
  enough (even on Windows).
