I don't think this means what you think it means ;-)

I thought about the comment when I was looking over it, thinking it
might be misleading, and I decided that it applies to the block of
code that is all of

+        /* Generate a path with wildcard suitable for iterating */
+        if (CharPrevA(szFilename, szFilename + iLen) != "\")
+        {
+            lstrcatA(szFilename, "\");
+            iLen++;
+        }

-        /* TODO: Should check for system directory deletion etc. here */
+        lstrcatA(szFilename, "*");

When the filename is a directory and the end of the string is not ,
append it, and we add * to the end no matter what so we can iterate
through the files in the dir using Find*File.  It's also possible to
make the check as

if (szFilename[iLen] != '\')...

if the check is what's wrong.  Am I missing something?

Yup, you're missing a lot :)

String pointer address comparisons don't really make a lot of sense...

James, it should be

if (CharPrevA(szFilename, szFilename + iLen) != '\')
{
}

Note the single quotes, which makes this a character instead of a string
(so it can be compared using !=). Yes, C is a very silly language indeed.
You need to use '' when strcatting as well, if you are actually dealing
with backslashes.

(and yeah, I've made the same mistake too before ... Wine is a great way
to learn C ;)
