ShellFolder object filter

[Deye]

what can be used to verify the true location of a targeted folder

for 1 i got the downloads folder targeted to D:\down1 when I browse with explorer in  D:\ It  is seen as  D:\Downloads with its special folder icon

In this doc I see only the SHCONTF_INIT_ON_FIRST_NEXT which won't do anything special or expand to D:\down1

what can fix getting correct true path for targeted folders using object filters or something to jump it

currently it lists as  D:\Downloads just like  explorer does it

Thanks

Maybe?

#include <WinAPIShellEx.au3>
_WinAPI_ShellGetKnownFolderPath($FOLDERID_Downloads)

Maybe this is what you are after :

Global $oShellApplication = ObjCreate("Shell.Application")
Local $oShellFolder = $oShellApplication.NameSpace("C:\Users\" & @UserName)
Local $oShellFolderItems = $oShellFolder.Items()
$oShellFolderItems.Filter(0x20, "*")
For $oShellFolderItem In $oShellFolderItems
  ConsoleWrite("Name : " & $oShellFolderItem.name & " / Real path : " & $oShellFolderItem.path & @CRLF)
Next

 @Nine  that should work will see how it goes @splitting the name() back from the path()

Thanks

Or

$objShell = ObjCreate("Shell.Application")
$objFolder = $objShell.Namespace('shell:Downloads').Self.Path
ConsoleWrite($objFolder & @CRLF)
