`r'C:\Users\treed\PycharmProjects\pythonProject1'` or `'C:/Users/treed/PycharmProjects/pythonProject1'` or `'C:\\Users\\treed\\PycharmProjects\\pythonProject1'` - see [Windows path in Python](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2953834/windows-path-in-python) — Rabbid76, Oct 14 '22 at 18:27

Maybe?

icon = "C:\\Users\\treed\\PycharmProjects\\pythonProject1"
pygame.image.load(icon)
