Slash vs. Wack

Tech Tip of the Day: There is a difference between a backslash and forward slash. The backslash looks like "\" and is above the "Enter" key on your keyboard. The forward slash looks like "/" and is to the left of the shift key.

The backslash is normally used for places where you need to log in to something. Using a forward slash instead of a backslash will most of the time not work, as it is a completely different character than the backslash.

When instructed to use "the one above the enter key" please remember that if you tell us that yes that's the one you used, just remember there's a fairly greater than average chance that we will then be viewing your PC remotely...we can see what you actually did.
