First of all, you should "wait" after FindFirstChangeNotification,
that is, "FindNextChangeNotification" should be in the same loop as
your "wait" function (and following it).

Now, regarding your problem, you should try adding a
FILE_NOTIFY_CHANGE_DIR_NAME to your filter and, if this doesn't work
for you, you should monitor one directory higher than the one you
intend to. For example:

C:\Program Files\My App\Watch Dir

If you don't get all notifications of "Watch Dir" (after adding the
flag mentioned above), you should monitor "My App". This is the *only*
way to be notified for every change that happens to "Watch Dir"
(assuming your have the proper filter).
