That would have to be a config option in dosbox.conf then since we'd run into a user who wouldn't want DosBox to mount the default directory.

If said user put a mount-command in the autoexec-section, then a drive other than Z: would exist, and no auto-mount would occur.

The only time a problem would arrive is when DOSBox is launched with no manual mounts, and the user wants to manually mount C from the prompt. In that case s/he would need to do a mount -u C before proceeding.

There is no correct solution. It is a design decision.

Just make sure there's a bit in the conf that can disable this, no questions asked, I hate it when programs decide where to put their files on their own...

Sometimes I forget to mount a directory, and I sure as hell don't want it to mount something by default.
