Thanks. Good to know tramp links work, as I am sure I will need it sometime.

I have tried to use SSH/Tramp on Windows but the set-up is a challenge 
(putty does not work as a "ssh" replacement, and Cygwin ssh does not 
work either) . If you have a set up working on Windows, I would be glad 
to hear about it.

But still, even with SSH/Tramp working, I still think ideally whatever 
path that Windows file explorer accepts should work in org-mode too. 
Emacs already does so. If on Windows you do "C-x C-f" on a path 
"\\host\dir\file_name", there is no problem.
