Moreover its own dll. :-)

The background is, that this function was introduce later with Win2k.

To use the SHGetFolderPath function in a Windows version before Win2k or
WinME, you need to update the System. There is a redistributable
Installer for Win95, Win98 and WinNT. This update is part of IE since
version 5 and every product of the MS Office2k suite and later versions.
Win98SE have the IE 5, there is no problem.

The redistributable Installer is available on the Microsoft Homepage:
http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/platformsdk/sdkupdate/psdkredist.htm
My experience is, that you need this update very rarely.


BTW: Borland's SHFolder.pas is oudated. You can download a up to date
header conversion plus a unit for a easy Delphi like function call from
my homepage: http://jediplus.pjh2.de/download/ShFolder.zip

Bye Peter.
