To add to this, the remarks section on msdn says this:

"To obtain a handle to a directory, use the CreateFile function with the
FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS flag."

In addition to this you're also passing an OVERLAPPED record to
ReadDirectoryChangesW(), so you'll have to use FILE_FLAG_OVERLAPPED when
you open the directory, too.
