PathIsSystemFolder function
Applies to: desktop apps only
Determines if an existing folder contains the attributes that make it a system folder. Alternately, this function indicates if certain attributes qualify a folder to be a system folder.
Syntax
BOOL PathIsSystemFolder( __in_opt LPCTSTR pszPath, __in DWORD dwAttrb );
Parameters
- pszPath [in, optional]
-
Type: LPCTSTR
A pointer to a null-terminated string of maximum length MAX_PATH that contains the name of an existing folder. The attributes for this folder will be retrieved and compared with those that define a system folder. If this folder contains the attributes to make it a system folder, the function returns nonzero. If this value is NULL, this function determines if the attributes passed in dwAttrb qualify it to be a system folder.
- dwAttrb [in]
-
Type: DWORD
The file attributes to be compared. Used only if pszPath is NULL. In that case, the attributes passed in this value are compared with those that qualify a folder as a system folder. If the attributes are sufficient to make this a system folder, this function returns nonzero. These attributes are the attributes that are returned from GetFileAttributes.
Return value
Type: BOOL
Returns nonzero if the pszPath or dwAttrb represent a system folder, or zero otherwise.
