Known Folder GUIDs for File Dialog Custom Places
You use a Guid to specify a Windows Known Folder when you add folders to a CustomPlaces collection. Known Folder GUIDs are not case sensitive and are defined in the KnownFolders.h file in the Windows SDK.
Note
In some cases, a Known Folder added to the FileDialogCustomPlacesCollection won't be shown in the Favorite Links area. For example, if the specified Known Folder is not present on the computer that is running the application, the Known Folder isn't shown.
List of GUIDs
The following table lists Windows Known Folders and their associated Guid.
