well, for example if one wants to have a SaveDialog or OpenDialog
default to the users My Documents folder (instead of the program's
installation folder, one can hard-code the InitialDir property to
'%HOMEDRIVE%%HOMEPATH%My Documents'. No call of any kind is made.

Huh? What's the benefit of calling GetEnvironmentVariable over calling
SHGetSpecialFolder?
