CSIDL

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CSIDL values provide a unique system-independent way to identify special folders used frequently
by applications, but which may not have the same name or location on any given system.
For example, the system folder may be "C:\Windows" on one system and "C:\Winnt" on another.

Remarks

These values supersede the use of environment variables for this purpose.

A CSIDL is used in conjunction with one of four Shell functions, SHGetFolderLocation, SHGetFolderPath, SHGetSpecialFolderLocation, and SHGetSpecialFolderPath, to retrieve a special folder's path or pointer to an item identifier list (PIDL).

Combine CSIDL_FLAG_CREATE with any of the other CSIDLs to force the creation of the associated folder. The remaining CSIDLs correspond to either file system folders or virtual folders. Where the CSIDL identifies a file system folder, a commonly used path is given as an example. Other paths may be used. Some CSIDLs can be mapped to an equivalent %VariableName% environment variable. CSIDLs are more reliable, however, and should be used if possible.
