For Windows versions 98, NT4 the SHGetFolderPath is obtained through SHFolder.dll, not through Shell32.dll.
SHFolder.dll continues to be included for backward compatibility, though the function is now implemented in Shell32.dll.
CSIDL values provide a unique system-independent way to identify special folders used frequently by applications, but which may not have the same name or location on any given system. For example, the system folder may be "C:\Windows" on one system and "C:\Winnt" on another.
As of Windows Vista, these values have been replaced by KNOWNFOLDERID values.
CSIDL list.
