I am not working under Losedows and I am not writing a path with ``\ 
´´ (except I want to "escape" SPC or such in the path name) – and the  
latter makes an important difference! When you start with ``c:/program 
´´ comint-dynamic-complete will work and probably expand to ``C:/ 
Program\ Files/´´ ...

The reason is that backslash is used as a metacharacter that cannot  
stand for itself but gives other characters a particular meaning. So,  
when you write ``\p´´ it's not a sequence of ``\´´ and ``p´´ but a  
``backslashed p´´, some new entity.
