IShellFolder

How do I get an IShellFolder for a given folder name? I tried this:

Code:

---

        IShellFolder *pDesktop;
        HRESULT hr = SHGetDesktopFolder(&pDesktop);
        if(FAILED(hr))
                throw hresult_exception(hr);

        LPITEMIDLIST piil;
        OLECHAR *pDir = new OLECHAR[dir.size()];
        wcscpy(pDir, dir.c_str());
        hr = pDesktop->ParseDisplayName(0, 0, pDir, 0, &piil, 0);
        delete[] pDir;
        if(FAILED(hr))
                throw hresult_exception(hr);

        IShellFolder *pMine;
        hr = pDesktop->BindToObject(piil, 0, IID_IShellFolder, (void **)&pMine);
        pMalloc->Free(piil);
        if(FAILED(hr))
                throw hresult_exception(hr);

---

dir is a std::wstring.
The debugger shows the contents of dir as "G:\download\temp", which should be correct.

However, ParseDisplayName returns E_FAIL.
Does anyone know the reason? I need this for a nice tool that lets you apply a regular expression replace to each filename in a folder (great when downloading or ripping music).

Thanks in advance

Never mind, I called the app incorrectly.
