I'm trying to write a function to return various user paths (Desktop, My
Documents, Start Menu, etc.).  Everything I've seen references
SHGetFolderPath, but I can't find it.  I'm using Delphi 6 Pro with all the
latest patches and library updates.  Is that API call something that they
just forgot, and I need to upgrade to D7, or am I just looking in the wrong
place?  It looks like it should be defined in ShellAPI, but it's not.  A
GREP-like search of the entire Borland tree turned up no reference.  Anyone
know where this is?

Thanks,
Matt
