Question

Answer 1

If you want your code to be portable under another linux system one day, you should use / as File separator so save as C:/Users/abc/Desktop/1.png .

Java would retrieve the file anyway at the correct path

Answer 2

`"C:\\\\Users\\\\abc\\\\Desktop\\\\1.png"

You should write it like this.

A \\ is used Escape Sequences like \\n \\r etc.
