Get special folders' CLSID from FileSelectFolder()

[rexx]

Hi,

Can I get the CLSIDs of special folders (Computer, Control Panel...etc.) from FileSelectFolder()?

In the doc it's possible to set root of FileSelectFolder() by CLSIDs, but when I select a special folder, I'll get name of it instead of CLSID.

Is it possible?

You mean this?

$MyDocsFolder = "::{450D8FBA-AD25-11D0-98A8-0800361B1103}"
FileSelectFolder("Select",$MyDocsFolder)

No, I mean

$var = FileSelectFolder("Select","")

and selecting a special folder, $var gets its name (e.g. My Document), instead of its CLSID.

My question is how to get the CLSID of the selected special folder.

Thanks.

But there are some special folders not in the table.

For example, "Control Panel" in Windows 7 is "::{26EE0668-A00A-44D7-9371-BEB064C98683}"

It's not in the appendix.

Can I get it from the system?

Maybe this could be helpful.

Answering myself: Use COM

Local $oShell = ObjCreate("Shell.Application")
Local $oFolder = $oShell.BrowseForFolder(0, "Select Folder", 0)
if IsObj($oFolder) then
    Local $sName = $oFolder.Self.Name
    Local $sPath = $oFolder.Self.Path
    MsgBox(0, "Select Folder", "Name:   " & $sName & @CRLF & "Path: " & $sPath)
endif
