Remarks
The folder is added to custom places only for a particular FileDialog and is not a system or application wide change.
The folders are positioned in the custom places in the order that they are added to the FileDialog. The last one added will be at the top. If you add a custom place to the collection that does not exist on the computer running the application, the custom place will not be shown. GUIDs are case-insensitive. For a list of the available Windows Vista Known Folders, see Known Folder GUIDs for File Dialog Custom Places or the KnownFolders.h file in the Windows SDK.
