(It's been months, but Danny and Pedro and others were helping me use SHGetSpecialFolderPath or equivalent. History's below, but basically Danny pointed out that various variants appeared to already be in the headers and libraries.)
I finally have this working, but not the way you'd expect. I think there's a bug here somewhere. I'm working in the arm-mingw32ce world, BTW. GetProcAddress() works for SHGetSpecialFolderPath (note spelling: no terminal W or A). In fact, calling SHGetSpecialFolderPath directly works, but first you have to #undef SHGetSpecialFolderPath, because the headers want to turn it into SHGetSpecialFolderPathW. Is it possible there simply isn't an A version? SHGetSpecialFolderPath is returning a wchar_t string for me. I'm testing in the MS emulators, BTW; haven't tested on a real device. If there's a bug it's that the headers reference W and A versions and turn SHGetSpecialFolderPath into one of them.
