@shfolder questions

I am curious as to why the index value goes from 0 to 59 but not consecutively?

Also is there a plugin for those who are using a version of TCMD that doesn't have @shfolder included? I'm stiull using XP with TCMD 8 but will be getitng a Win 7 or 8 box by new years and want to make my code interchangable, hence wanting to use @shfolder.

Some of the constants defined in SHLOBJ.H are simply not folders, like
Code:
#define CSIDL_INTERNET                  0x0001        // Internet Explorer (icon on desktop)
#define CSIDL_CONTROLS                  0x0003        // My Computer\Control Panel
#define CSIDL_PRINTERS                  0x0004        // My Computer\Printers
Others may be reserved for future use.

I used to have @SHPATH[] in my 4UTILS plugin but removed it when Rex came out with @SHFOLDER (gladly, since its help alone was 2KB). I don't think modern versions of my plugins will work with TCC v8 (could be wrong, Ive lost track). I don't have old ones, but maybe someone listening has an old 4UTILS.
 
Where do I get a copy of SHLOBJ.H Vince? And also the latest 4UTILS is

ftp://lucky.syr.edu/4plugins\4utils.zip ??

And the values I am interested are: 01, 03, 04, 10, 12, 15, 17, 18, 27, 29, 30, 42, 44, 49, 50, 51, 52, 57, 58
and any if they go past 59.
 
I don't know where to get SHLOBJ.H but I pasted a longer list of constants below. The latest 4UTILS is on lucky.syr.edu but as I said, @SHPATH was removed years ago.

The documented values are the only ones that will work with @SHFOLDER. The others are for non-folder objects -- why do you want to access them?

Well, he did write "curious".

On a related note, the OP wonders about a plugin to add this functionality to older versions of Take Command. Of course, such a plugin would work just as well in TCC/LE -- restoring a function which you chose to remove from the unpaid product. Rex, what are your feelings about that?
 
Doesn't bother me -- I doubt anyone upgraded from TCC/LE in order to get @shrfolder.

The big features are TCMD and the batch IDE/debugger. Those are a bit harder for a plugin ...

And Internet support and UDFs, ditto.
