It looks like CreateFile requires a special flag, FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS , 
in order to get a handle from a directory that can be used with the SetFileTime
call. Below is an excerpt from a discussion on the topic.

Windows NT: You can obtain a handle to a directory by calling the
CreateFile function with the FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS flag set, as
follows:
hDir = CreateFile (
    DirName,
    GENERIC_READ,
    FILE_SHARE_READ|FILE_SHARE_DELETE,
    NULL,
    OPEN_EXISTING,
    FILE_FLAG_BACKUP_SEMANTICS,
    NULL
);

You can pass a directory handle to the following SetFileTime function.
