i prefer trailing slashes at the end of directory names. That way you can distinguish them programmatically and visually from filenames

That's easy: just put ham and pineapple on it.

slashes go at the end of directories. There you go. =D

Over the years I have learned not to care. I have seen and done both so when I start building paths I use PathAddBackslash because it adds one only if necessary. This way the code can accommodate both options.
Lately, I use no leading slashes and I have trailing slashes on directories. Plane, old file names never have them.

In DOS, I prefer trailing backslashes on directory paths.
I have begun to try getting into the habit of specifying them on the command line to avoid a certain class of error to which I have proven prone time and time again.
Remember, also, that a _real_ Operating System has a better file specification system:
nodename::devicename:[directoryname.directoryname]filename.extension

lol, I actually know what that means.
Zero blue screens. The only time the OS *ever* went down was due to two causes. Driver development, but we all knew to stay away. And, shutting down your workstation then realizing you just shutdown the cluster (and 5000 people would be calling soon).

Depending on version, there’s PathCchCombine function (pathcch.h) | Microsoft Docs[^]

Wojciech Kilar - Générique[^]
I think this song has been SOTW before because it's one of my all time favorites.
The movie Le Roi Et l'Oiseau (The King and the Mockingbird) is an oldie (like really old, started in 1948) and I watched it a lot when I was a kid 
Hayao Miyazaki and Isao Takahata of Studio Ghibli fame cited this movie as an influence, so it must be good 
Last weekend, a cousin came over for pizza, a chat and a movie and I suggested this movie.
Unfortunately, my cousin didn't want to see it because my DVD only has Dutch language (we Dutchies don't like our language) 
It is a bit poor for a DVD to only have one language and not even the original (which is French)...
His loss, because the movie is awesome (even in Dutch), as is the music!
This song in particular is beautiful and I'm still looking for sheet music for a piano arrangement.
So enjoy, and if you ever get the chance also watch the movie
