config.user: format of paths on Windows system

Hi All,

I am encountering problems running the following config.user-file on 
WinXP together with GC v2.2.3. The problem is that additional tools do 
not show up as they are supposed to be.

Here is the config-file saved in .gnucash:
_____________________
(printf "Start config.user\n")

(define ibr-menu-created #f)

(let (
		(path ("C://Dokumente und 
Einstellungen/user/.gnucash/ibr-gnc-module.scm"))
	)
	(printf "config.user: loading %s ...\n" path)
	(load path)
)

(printf "End config.user\n")
_______________________

The file stems from http://www.ibrieger.de/misc/linux/gnucash/index.html 
where the .scm-file is available for download as well.

At start-up GC looks for the config.user file in .gnucash and starts it. 
Derek and me, we have already found out that the line defining the hard 
coded path variable

	(path ("C://Dokumente und Einstellungen/user/.gnucash/ibr-gnc-module.scm"))

does not seem to be correct.

Does anyone has a clue what format the path should have on a Windows 
system? Should "\" be used? What is the syntax for calling the hard drive?

The .scm provides a feature to export transactions to a csv-file feeding 
the interface for a professional accounting software used by German tax 
accountants.

Thanks for your thoughts !!!

Best wishes,
J.
