hai frnd....
"\" is a special character...
i think u must use "\\" whereever u want "\"
try using this......
img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("C:\\Documents and Settings\\gayathri\\My Documents\\My Pictures\\photo\\Image010.jpg");


or


img = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage("C://Documents and Settings//gayathri//My Documents//My Pictures//photo//Image010.jpg");
hope it work..
thanks and regards
