I am at my wits end trying to figure out how to execute this in bash

C:\WINDOWS>cmd /c "start "" "C:\Documents and Settings\All
Users\Desktop\projects\crisfield\trunk\etc""

jpyeron AT phoenix /projects/crisfield
$ cmd /c "\"start \"\" \"C:\\Documents and Settings\\All
Users\\Desktop\\projects\\crisfield\\trunk\\etc\"\""
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

jpyeron AT phoenix /projects/crisfield
$ cmd /c '\"start \"\" \"C:\\Documents and Settings\\All
Users\\Desktop\\projects\\crisfield\\trunk\\etc\"\"'
The filename, directory name, or volume label syntax is incorrect.

jpyeron AT phoenix /projects/crisfield
$ cmd /c '\"start \"\" \"C:\\Documents and Settings\\All
Users\\Desktop\\projects\\crisfield\\trunk\\etc\"\"'
The network path was not found.

jpyeron AT phoenix /projects/crisfield
$ cmd /c "start \"\" \"C:\\Documents and Settings\\All
Users\\Desktop\\projects\\crisfield\\trunk\\etc\""
# A windows alert box pops up saying \\ The network path was not found.
