I'm not sure, and it changes depending what you're doing. Just logging
in locally? Logging into a domain? Talking over SAMBA? Talking to a
non-windows-NT SAMBA? It's at least 14 characters, and if you make it
that long, the 7+7 broken hash in the login doesn't work any more.
(I.e., at 14+ characters, you can't brute force it nearly as easily as
at 13 characters, because Windows no longer exhibits the flaw that makes
it easy to crack.)

Only that saying "C:" is a generic term, and I'm aware of that fact.
