What do you mean by "the focused item on desktop"? Do you mean the selected desktop icon? The foreground window which has the focus? Or waht?

You can see in the declarations of interfaces (from code posted in the other thread) that there is GetFocusedItem in IFolderView

int nIndex = 0; hr = pFolderView.GetFocusedItem(ref nIndex);

then you can get pidlItem from nIndex and get properties of the item such GetDisplayNameOf like in the loop
