Yes, this is true for the default installation. If you use explorer to
look at the shortcut in your start menu, you can right-click on it and
view its properties. This is where the "Start in" directory is specified.
When the setup program creates this shortcut, it uses "C:\" as the
start location, but you can change it to anything you want.
All path names (in load and otherwise) are relative to the current working
directory, which initially is this start directory (unless you use cd).
Another note: as with C++ and many other languages, the backslash (\) is
the escape character within string literals. That means you'll probably
want to use forward slashes in path names, or double-up the backslashes,
as you would in C++ or Java.
