KNOWNFOLDERID values
The following KNOWNFOLDERID values are defined by Windows; note that not all Windows versions support all KNOWNFOLDERID values and that the whole KNOWNFOLDERID style of symbolic folder paths was introduced in Windows Vista and is not available on earlier versions of Windows.
You must use the GUID format {xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx} and not the symbolic reference (FOLDERID_something). For more details about the KNOWNFOLDERID values, please consult the MSDN documentation.
