Remarks
The process that calls this function acts as the Shell and is used to view the content of folders opened with the ShellExecute 'open' verb.
This function does not have an associated header or library file so it must be called by ordinal value. Call LoadLibrary with the DLL name (Shdocvw.dll) to obtain a module handle. Then call GetProcAddress with that module handle and the function ordinal number 118 to get the address of the function.
