Fields

Common = 3

The folder is a common folder. Common folders are used for sharing data and settings accessible by all users of a system. For example, all users share a common Documents folder as well as their per-user Documents folder.

Fixed = 2

The folder is fixed. Fixed file system folders are not managed by the Shell and are usually given a permanent path when the system is installed. For example, the Windows and Program Files folders are fixed folders. A number of properties such as redirection do not apply to this category.

None = 0

The folder category is not specified.

PerUser = 4

Each user has their own copy of the folder. Per-user folders are those stored under each user's profile and accessible only by that user.

Virtual = 1

The folder is a virtual folder. Virtual folders are not part of the file system. For example, Control Panel and Printers are virtual folders. A number of properties such as folder path and redirection do not apply to this category.
