Unacceptable seems a moral judgement, for this reason
I guess Peter is perplexed.

What about a more clear explanation of what do you expect
to obtain ? I have problem to understand your problem,

In general the "\" is used as escape character so unquoted
it just preserves the next character
\\DAEMON1\anrdaemon\.profile
is equivalent to
"\DAEMON1anrdaemon.profile"
