In my frame, saying please is not begging. I found your "Show me your 
code" a bit too imperative. Also, the etiquette in MLs is different from 
that in StackExchange. But well, I'm not a native English speaker.

Again, I cross-compiled in Linux for Win32, linking the last GTK2 (2.24.X 
I think) statically. Executable tested in Win XP.

I don't know how the infinity symbol I used is coded in Windows. I 
inserted it with the help of the character map tool. It displays properly 
in the file explorer.

I spot one difference in that I call g_file_new_for_path to turn the 
filename string into a GFile. Maybe this is relevant, maybe not, I can't 
tell.
