But that'd be an imposition for the end user of the application, not even for the developer, wouldn't it? Please correct me if I'm wrong. But if I'm not, then there must be something better to be done.

Microsoft would probably tell you to upgrade to Windows XP because they want your money.

As a free alternative, have you looked at using MSLU?
http://msdn.microsoft.com/msdnmag/issues/01/10/MSLU/default.aspx
http://www.microsoft.com/globaldev/handson/dev/mslu_announce.mspx

There'd still be a burden for Win9X users (they'd have to install it), and I don't even know that it'd help with your specific problem, but it might be useful to you.

Actually, I think I know what the problem is. listdir() is not converting the returned filenames into unicode as it should.

Try the following std.file.d and see if it works.

Yes, it worked. Thanks.
