From MSDN:

BIF_NEWDIALOGSTYLE
Version 5.0. Use the new user interface. Setting this flag provides the user
with a larger dialog box that can be resized. The dialog box has several new
capabilities including: drag-and-drop capability within the dialog box,
reordering, shortcut menus, new folders, delete, and other shortcut menu
commands. To use this flag, you must call OleInitialize or CoInitialize
before calling SHBrowseForFolder.

I know very little about these SHxxx functions.  But I have noticed that
sometimes CoInitialize is needed, and other times it isn't (as if it has
already been called by some other code I don't have control over).  I
suspect if it hasn't been called already by some library you are using, that
you will have to call it yourself.
