This might be OK for other OS's. But on Windows people don't expect such
behaviour. People new to QEMU get often confused by using "-L ." or
something similar.
And what if I installed Windows not on drive C:? (Yes, that's possible.)
Or if I have a non-English version? For example, "Program Files" is
called "Programme" in German versions of Windows.
