Remarks
The caller can specify a CSIDL file path for in_szDesktopFile and in_szDeviceFile by using a special string substitution format.
CSIDL values provide a unique system-independent way to identify these special folders. The values supersede the use of environment variables for this purpose.
The format of the substitution string is %CSIDL_<tag>%\mydirectory\myfile.ext, where CSIDL_<tag> must be one of the following strings.
| CSIDL_<tag> string | Description |
|---|---|
CSIDL_APPDATA |
File system directory that serves as a common repository for application-specific data. |
CSIDL_COMMON_APPDATA |
File system directory containing application data for all users. A typical path is C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data. |
CSIDL_DESKTOPDIRECTORY |
Prior to Windows CE .NET 4.2, not supported. In Windows CE .NET 4.2 and later, the file system path to the desktop directory. |
CSIDL_FAVORITES |
File system directory that serves as a common repository for the user's favorite items. |
CSIDL_FONTS |
Virtual folder containing fonts. |
CSIDL_PERSONAL |
File system directory that serves as a common repository for documents. |
CSIDL_PROFILE |
Folder that contains the profile of the user. |
CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES |
Program files folder. |
CSIDL_PROGRAMS |
File system directory that contains the user's program groups, which are also file system directories. |
CSIDL_STARTMENU |
File system directory that contains Start menu items. |
CSIDL_STARTUP |
File system directory that corresponds to the user's Startup program group. The system starts these programs when a device is turned on. |
CSIDL_WINDOWS |
Windows folder. |
Each of the CSIDL tags expands to the information provided by SHGetSpecialFolderPath.
That is, the following string
%CSIDL_WINDOWS%\myfile.txt
expands to \WINDOWS\myfile.txt,
if SHGetSpecialFolderPath returns
\Windows
when passed CSIDL_WINDOWS.
The CSIDL_<tag> string must appear as the first element in the argument.
