I've been looking at the SHBrowseForFolder() API call. But I can't 
figure out how to set a "default" folder selection. I see that I can 
send a BFFM_SETSELECTION message to the dialog, but The lParam parameter 
is the PIDL of the folder to select.

So here's my question: Given "C:\My Dir\"; How do I get the PIDL?

Thanks in advance
