Hello to all,
Not work in Win9X! why?
Return me an empty value!
// In Win2K/XP works good.

Function GetPath(Path: Integer): String;
Var idList: PItemIdList; idPath: Array[0..Max_Path] of Char;
Begin
    ShGetSpecialFolderLocation(0, Paths, idList);
    ShGetPathFromIDList(idList, idPath);
    Result := idPath;
End;

// and too.
#define NO_WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN;
AnsiString __fastcall GetPath(int Path)
{
    PItemIDList idList;
    char idPath[MAX_PATH];
    SHGetSpecialFolderLocation(0, Path, &idList);
    SHGetPathFromIDList(idList, idPath);
    return String(idPath);
}

Procedure TMain.BitBtn1Click(Sender: TObject);
Begin
    Label1.Caption  := GetPath(CSIDL_PROGRAMFILES);
    Label1->Caption  = GetPath(CSIDL_PROGRAMFILES);
    // or Label1.Caption := GetPath($24);
End;
