I'm not sure why the approach of "load-em-all" is being taken. Interestingly, SHGetFolderPathW is listed as deprecated, so I doubt that list will grow too much, but the implementation as specified prevents the user from using other facilities available via the API (ie, what if they do want it verified? What if they want to specify CSIDL_FLAG_CREATE?) That said though, I don't object to the patch as it stands, and agree it will meet the requirements of the majority of people who need a "known path" on Windows.
