windows - What does MSDN mean when it says some API is not supported? -


consider shgetspecialfolderpath msdn documentation. @ top of page, says:

shgetspecialfolderpath not supported. instead, use shgetfolderpath.

does mean function = possible disaster newer versions of windows?

also, same page, @ bottom says:

end of client support : windows 2000 professional

but used shgetspecialfolderpath success in windows xp, windows 7 , windows 8 (32 , 64 bit). feeling msdn isn't entirely accurate. can confirm this?

it means shgetspecialfolderpath unsupported function , should not used though it's available in library backwards compatibility. should click on function shgetfolderpath , read on fact being retired , has been marked deprecated because csidl_ constants being retired. shgetfolderpath wrapper around shgetknownfolderpath.

msdn documentation canonical, cannot assume isn't accurate.

so :-) read anish.
