IKnownFolderManager::GetFolder Gets an object that represents a known folder identified by its KNOWNFOLDERID.
IKnownFolderManager::GetFolderByName Gets an object that represents a known folder identified by its canonical name.

IKnownFolderManager::Redirect Redirects folder requests for common and per-user folders.
IKnownFolderManager::RegisterFolder Adds a new known folder to the registry. Used particularly by independent software vendors (ISVs) that are adding one of their own folders to the known folder system.
