I have come across a few posts wherein I have seen that a file path is
preceded by a '@' (without the quotes), something like

Dim FilePath As String
FilePath = @"C:\windows\System32\Folder1\"

What does '@' signify here? Why is the file path being preceded by '@'?

Also can someone please tell me what does UNC stand for & what does it
exactly do or what is it meant for?

@ makes a string into a string literal i.e. it is not escaped:
