Comment:

 "C:filename" is perfectly valid. Windows interprets the directory as being
 the current working directory on the C drive. This is demonstrated from
 the command line by:

 >dir

  Volume in drive C has no label.
  Volume Serial Number is D4A2-EC0D

 Note the way that "dir c:" works.

 If you want C:\ rather than the current C: directory, change line 10 to:

 const char *drive_to_search = "C:\\";
