This bit from the PrintStrRet() sample code:

        case STRRET_WSTR: 
            cch = WideCharToMultiByte(CP_OEMCP, WC_DEFAULTCHAR, 
		lpStr->DUMMYUNIONNAME.pOleStr, -1,NULL, 0,NULL,NULL);

cch returns 0 even though pOleStr is a wide string of "My Documents".
So, the sample code is actually returning the proper string, but the
display function isn't working.
This is my code that gives the proper widestring:
Note: I'm only interested in the path, pidltest was added for this
exercise.

if( NOERROR == SHGetSpecialFolderLocation( hWnd,CSIDL_PERSONAL,&pidl))
{
	if( !SHGetPathFromIDList( pidl, filepath ) )
	{	lstrcpy( filepath, "c:\\My Documents"); 
	};
#if pidltest
	if( SUCCEEDED(SHGetDesktopFolder(&pFolder)) )
	{
		if(
		     SUCCEEDED(pFolder->lpVtbl->GetDisplayNameOf(
	                        pFolder, pidl, SHGDN_INFOLDER, 
				&sName)) )
 
			    PrintStrRet(pidl, &sName);

		if (pFolder != NULL)
		                pFolder->lpVtbl->Release(pFolder); 
	};
#endif
	pShellMalloc->lpVtbl->Free(pShellMalloc,pidl);
};
