    Resolved [RESOLVED] Some questions about folder IDs

    I have some questions about folder IDs

    1. I know that Known Folders (aka "special folders") have IDs. They used to be CSIDL values but are now KnownFolderIDs.
    2. Does every folder in a Windows file system have an ID? (Apparently the answer is YES, they have a PIDL)
    3. How can I get the ID from a given folder path?

    Most APIs seems to work in one direction - get the path for a known folder for a given ID. I want the reverse of that - given a folder path, what is the ID. What is the Shell function which does that? Some sample code would be most appreciated as well!
