SetRootPath doesn't set work as expected

I have used part of a code (PyQt5) from this post

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QTreeView,QFileSystemModel,QApplication

class Main(QTreeView):
    def __init__(self):
        QTreeView.__init__(self)
        model = QFileSystemModel()
        model.setRootPath('C:\\')
        self.setModel(model)
        self.doubleClicked.connect(self.test)

    def test(self, signal):
        file_path=self.model().filePath(signal)
        print(file_path)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    import sys
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    w = Main()
    w.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())

And i have a problem with this line

model.setRootPath('C:\')

When i run the program it always shows drives like C: D: just not the content of C:\ or even if i type "C:\Users\" or a path that doesn't even exists, it always just shows, see attached image, What am i doing wrong?

Image of PyQt Program showing file manager

I am using: Windows 10, PyCharm, Python 3.5, PyQt5,

Thanks for your help.

You must indicate to the QTreeView what is your root item with setRootIndex():

from PyQt5.QtCore import QDir

from PyQt5.QtWidgets import QTreeView,QFileSystemModel,QApplication

class Main(QTreeView):
    def __init__(self):
        QTreeView.__init__(self)
        model = QFileSystemModel()
        self.setModel(model)
        model.setRootPath(QDir.rootPath())
        self.setRootIndex(model.index("C:"))
        self.doubleClicked.connect(self.test)

    def test(self, signal):
        file_path=self.model().filePath(signal)
        print(file_path)


if __name__ == '__main__':
    import sys
    app = QApplication(sys.argv)
    w = Main()
    w.show()
    sys.exit(app.exec_())
