Hey Corion. Spurred on by your comments I implemented the update I posted above.

I had to change your Win32::API calls a bit though :-)

Anyway, I wasn't able to get anything working with SHGetSpecialFolderLocation as I couldnt figure out how to pass/manipulate ppidl or ITEMIDLIST objects properly. (I believe they would have to passed on to SHGetPathFromIDList which has pointer/memory management issues that frankly I didnt want to research into...)

So instead I used SHGetSpecialFolderPath and to use that I spent a bit of time looking into the CSIDL enumeration (which was a bit of a pain) so if you get SHGetSpecialFolderLocation happening you should be able to use my CSIDL data.

Anyway, hope my new version meets with your approval.

:-)
