This is not a good question - we cannot work out from that little what you are trying to do.
Remember that we can't see your screen, access your HDD, or read your mind - we only get exactly what you type to work from, with no context beyond that.

Why would you need to? Windows doesn't distinguish between the 2 when it comes to shortcuts.

Just type the forward slash in your code "/" and it will accept it.
e.g.

string myString = @"C:\Windows\System32\schtasks.exe /RUN /TN myapplication";
