You need to use normal slashes in your path, not backslashes
as these are interpreted as escape characters. So change:

`include "C:\Documents and Settings\abc\Desktop\prectice\info.h"

to:

`include "C:/Documents and Settings/abc/Desktop/prectice/info.h"

Also, if you plan to use Xilinx tools with this
project, I would suggest moving your files to a
folder that does not have spaces in the path,
i.e. don't store your projects on the desktop
or in "My Documents." I generally have a main
folder to place projects in directly at the drive
root like:

C:\projects\prectece

Since at least DOS 3.2, DOS/Windows accepts forward slash in
file open requests. It is only the command line programs that
use forward slash for options, and don't allow them through.

C include files with forward slashes have worked just fine, and C
programmers are used to doing that. If it doesn't work for
modelsim, then it would seem to me that modelsim isn't passing
the name through to the file open call.
