Hi everybody,

How can I get a specific virtual folder CSIDL?

I find the CSIDL of My Picture on Internet:

::{450d8fba-ad25-11d0-98a8-0800361b1103}

I can use it with an explorer shell on XP, no problem.

Now, I want the CSIDL of Desktop, or My Documents...

Where can I find that?

Is a function existing?

An other question about that,

On Vista, the CSIDL of My Pictures doesn't work.

Anybody know why?

Thank you very much for your answer

Look in ShGuid.h in the Platform SDK.

This is the CSIDL for My Documents.

Thank your for your anwsers Christian and Scott!

I funded GUID I want, but not GUID for the active user Desktop.

Have anybody the GUID (for XP and Vista) of Desktop?

Thanks for your help.

The Desktop CLSID is CLSID_ShellDesktop
("shell:::{00021400-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}")
