I can reproduce this on win7 pro and 7.65 stable, I just opened the log folder dialog (alt o > irc > logging) and i simply tried to validate the current used folder (C:\mIRC\logs) and it doesn't do anything, removing the *.* does make it work.
*.* probably has nothing to do here given it's a folder selection
