Hi

I m using BCB 5.0 personal edition.

I wanted to find 'My documents' folder, so tried to use
SHGetSpecialFolderLocation. But my builder tells me that
function is not defined.

Then i found a few postings about this function. It figures
that i need to inlcude "shlobj.h"

But when i included the file i got following messages.

[C++ Error] shlobj.h(1762): E2238 Multiple declaration for 'FVSHOWINFO'
[C++ Error] shlobj.h(1936): E2238 Multiple declaration for 'FOLDERSETTINGS'
[C++ Error] shlobj.h(3717): E2238 Multiple declaration for 'DESKBANDINFO'
[C++ Error] shlobj.h(4808): E2238 Multiple declaration for 'SHELLFLAGSTATE'

What should i do??
