You asked two completely independent questions. Below is the answer to your second one. I recommend re-asking your first one as a separate question.

The characters ..\ signify moving up the folder hierarchy by one level. So, if while in the directory a\b\c\d\e\f\g\ I referenced \..\..\..\, I would be now looking at a\b\c\d\ The starting \ simply says to reference the current directory and is (usually) optional.
