  DWORD       dwSize;
  DWORD       dwMask;
  SHELLVIEWID *pvid;
  LPWSTR      pszWebViewTemplate;
  DWORD       cchWebViewTemplate;
  LPWSTR      pszWebViewTemplateVersion;
  LPWSTR      pszInfoTip;
  DWORD       cchInfoTip;
  CLSID       *pclsid;
  DWORD       dwFlags;
  LPWSTR      pszIconFile;
  DWORD       cchIconFile;
  int         iIconIndex;

pszWebViewTemplate

Type: LPTSTR

A pointer to a null-terminated string containing the path to the folder's WebView template.

cchWebViewTemplate

Type: DWORD

If the SHGetSetFolderCustomSettings parameter dwReadWrite is FCS_READ, this is the size of the pszWebViewTemplate buffer, in characters. If not, this is the number of characters to write from that buffer. Set this parameter to 0 to write the entire string.

pszWebViewTemplateVersion

If the SHGetSetFolderCustomSettings parameter dwReadWrite is FCS_READ, this is the size of the pszInfoTip buffer, in characters. If not, this is the number of characters to write from that buffer. Set this parameter to 0 to write the entire string.

pclsid

Type: CLSID*

A pointer to a CLSID used to identify the folder in the Windows registry. Further folder information is stored in the registry under that CLSID entry.

dwFlags

pszIconFile

Type: LPTSTR

A pointer to a null-terminated buffer containing the path to file containing the folder's icon.

cchIconFile

Type: DWORD

If the SHGetSetFolderCustomSettings parameter dwReadWrite is FCS_READ, this is the size of the pszIconFile buffer, in characters. If not, this is the number of characters to write from that buffer. Set this parameter to 0 to write the entire string.

iIconIndex

Type: int

The index of the icon within the file named in pszIconFile.
