I've never tried on Windows, but I've used many times on Linux and 
always specified a files list (or glob actually).  From the manual:

   geany -g [-P] <Tag File> <File list>

"File list is a list of filenames, each with a full path (unless you are 
generating C/C++ tags and have set the CFLAGS environment variable 
appropriately)."

Probably try this:

   geany -g mingw.c.tags c:\mingw\include\*.h

Though that might be a weird tags file depending on what's all in that 
directory.
