The above line is commented out -- maybe this is the problem?  Or is
it only commented out in the email?

I think "c:/Documents and Settings/jack/My Documents" will do.  But
the backslashes in front of the spaces won't hurt.  Note the slash in
"c:/".

Hm.  C-h v file-name-handler-alist RET should tell the story.  If
Tramp is not mentioned there, then it's probably the commented-out
require statement ;-)
