problem listing files in a directory

hi.
i wrote that code to list the files existed in "c:\" but it doesn't
seem to work cuz when i excute it it dosn't list all the exitsed files
in "c:\"
can someone tell me what's wrong ?
thanks.
#include<stdio.h>
#include<dir.h>

#define FILE_NOT_FOUND (-1)
int main(int argc,char *argv[])
{

_finddata_t finddata;

long hfile;
hfile=_findfirst("c:\*.*",&finddata);
while(_findnext(hfile,&finddata)!= FILE_NOT_FOUND){
printf("%s\n",finddata.name);
}
_findclose(hfile);
getchar();
return 0;
}

If you want a string with a backslash in it, you need to use "c:\\*.*".

If you didn't see a diagnostic here you need to up your warning level
or find a competent compiler. \* is not a valid sequence.

Strictly off-topic, as you are using a particular API which is not
covered by C standards. By the way, either use an escaped '\' or use a
'/'. Windows accepts both '\' and '/' as path separator.
