I would like to move the selected files/folders to a specified folder. Here is what I have.

```javascript
function OnClick(clickData)
{
	clickData.func.command.SetDest("\\COMP\_TestDirectory\Content");
	clickData.func.command.Runcommand("Copy MOVE");
}

```

I have done some tests. `d:test` works, `d:\test` fails.

The error I get is "the filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect. (123)

What am I doing wrong? Windows does `d:\test` for local and `\\COMP\_TestDirectory\Content` for network shares...

In JScript, backslashes (`\`) need to be escaped (`\\`).
