There is no mention of a NULL pidl in the SHGetSpecialFolderLocation() documentation in
MSDN, nor in any of the documentation that even mentions that function (at least that I
could find). Therefore, I didn't think it would be a valid value. I can change the
check
from:
if ( *ppidl == NULL )
{
hr = E_INVALIDARG;
}
to
if ( *ppidl == NULL && nFolder != CSIDL_DESKTOP )
{
hr = E_INVALIDARG;
}
if that would be better.
