Also, remember that \ is the escape character for strings in Python. In this particular case it doesn't matter just because you didn't hit any valid escape, but in general, use:
"C:\\Documents and Settings\\Adm..."
r"C:\Documents and Settings\Adm..."
In most cases, Windows recognizes forward slashes also: "C:/Documents and Settings/Adm..."
