Ow. I hope you have no intention of running this code on the Mac,
where absolute paths are evil and are not a reliable way of identifying
files.

Double-ow. Sounds like you ARE doing this on a Mac. Please don't do
that. Never pass an absolute path to GetFolderItem.
I would say, though, that you've found an unexpected bug if the
ShellPath doesn't include the .Name of a file, whether it's a file that
exists or not.

That's a weird one. However, if it only happens when you do something
dangerous and evil like calling GetFolderItem with an AbsolutePath,
then I personally am not going to worry about it. :)
