Pretty much everything in Windows is represented by ITEMIDLIST and 
IShellFolder, especially virtual/special folders that don't have physical 
filenames/paths, but also physical filenames/path are represented as well. 
So it is good to know what Windows is doing internally to access those kinds 
of things generically.
