Value

Description

S_OK

Indicates the method call was successful.

E_INVALIDARG

Indicates invalid arguments.

E_FAIL

Indicates any other failure.

Remarks

The caller can specify a CSIDL file path for in_szDesktopFile and in_szDeviceFile by using a special string substitution format.

CSIDL values provide a unique system-independent way to identify these special folders. The values supersede the use of environment variables for this purpose.

The format of the substitution string is %CSIDL_<tag>%\mydirectory\myfile.ext, where CSIDL_<tag> must be one of the following strings.

CSIDL_<tag> string

Description

CSIDL_APPDATA

File system directory that serves as a common repository for application-specific data.

CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA

A typical path is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data.

when passed CSIDL_WINDOWS.
