OMG. Please don't.

Putting third-party stuff under the Windows folder was perhaps a good
idea in the 90s, but today the general consensus is that it is very,
very wrong.

Instead, install GTK+ (and its dependencies, in case you "install" by
unzipping the separate zip archives for each package) in a folder of
its own (under \Program Files, something Unixish like \opt\gtk+, or
whatever), and just set up your PATH so that your executables will
find the DLLs it needs.
