put "john.h" in the same directory as your project. I'm not sure, but if you wanted to include a header from the c drive root, then you could (maybe) put something like

#include "c:\header.h"

again, I'm not sure about that one.

Just a note, generally you use <> for global includes and "" for local, project specific ones.
