Which will not work for Win32 filenames, as a file named c\:\\autoexec\.bat does not exist.

Also, the quoting rule of double quotes (") is different for cmd.exe too - "" gets converted to ", """ gets converted to "" and so on. I think. In any case, quotemeta is not what you want when quoting strings for cmd.exe or command.com.
