Follow-up Comment #1:

Out of curiosity, what happens if you try switching all of the '' characters
to '/' ?

Python on Windows is smart enough to translate automatically, for example:

f = open("C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/test.txt", "w")
f.write("test file")
f.close()

works perfectly to create a test file on my desktop.

I admit it's unintuitive, however, it may be the most simple solution.
