"No such file or directory" despite completely correct path in config.ini

[FunctionDJ]

My config.ini:

[Config]
token = [token]
snip = C:\Users\MyName\Desktop\temp\Snip.txt

Console output:

C:\Users\MyName\Desktop\temp\DiscordMusicStatus>python run.py

[DiNitride]

Is Snip running and has the file been created?

[FunctionDJ]

yes to both. snip is running as expected. looking at the error it seems to be an internal formatting issue because of the double slashes //.

[DiNitride]

Double slashes are normal, try moving it to a location that isn't your desktop and try there.
