You need to put double the amount of backslashes. an easy way to test this is to click on the variable, go to the properties window and click on the ellipses in the espression property. Then type in "\\\servername\c$", and click on Evaluate Expression and it will show it as \servernamec$ EDIT: Backslashes don't work well, there are 4 at the start and 2 in the middle.
