Remarks

The methods of the CShellManager class all deal with PIDLs. A PIDL is a unique identifier for a shell object.

You should not create a CShellManager object manually. It will be created automatically by the framework of your application. However, you should call CWinAppEx::InitShellManager during the initialization process of your application. To get a pointer to the shell manager for your application, call CWinAppEx::GetShellManager.
