What's the syntax for monitoring a local windows directory or file?

[the_wolverine]

[monitor://C:\\program files\path\filename]

doesn't seem to be working.

Ok, working now. In my testing I've found that both ways will work: [monitor://C:\stuff] and [monitor://C:\\stuff] work. Confirmed by trying both and seeing the source appear in metadata.

Splunk, I might have missed this but it would be useful for you to provide some Windows syntax examples either in spec file or online documentation. Thx.

[monitor://C:\Program Files\path\filename]

might work
you seem to have a double-slash after C:, also not entirely sure of the case sensitiveness of Splunkd on windows, but just in case might want to preserve the case if you can for the entire path.
