Putting an image into a JApplet

Question

Okay so I've made a logo in Fireworks, saved as a jpg, and now I'm trying to put it on to my JApplet.
I've tried...
ImageIcon logo = new ImageIcon("C:\folder1\folder2\image.jpg");
mainNorth.add(logo);
but it says illegal escape character compiler error...any ideas? :s

1) the complete error message (yes, the whole thing, and please put it between code tags)
2) an SSCCE -- a small program that compiles and demonstrates your problem. This program will just create a JApplet and try to place an image in a JPanel of the JApplet, it should be enough code to demonstrate your problem and nothing else. For more information, have a look at this:

Remember, the code must be compilable and runnable for many of us to be able to understand it fully.
Also, when posting your code, please use code tags so that your code will retain its formatting and be readable. To do this, either use the "code" button at the top of the forum Message editor or place the tag [code] at the top of your block of code and the tag [/code] at the bottom, like so:
[code]
  // your code block goes here.
[/code]
