const CLSID CLSID_PreviousVersions = {0x596AB062, 0xB4D2, 0x4215,

const IID IID_IPreviousVersionsInfo = {0x76E54780, 0xAD74, 0x48E3, 
                             {0xA6, 0x95, 0x3B, 0xA9, 0xA0, 0xAF, 0xF1, 0x0D}};

MIDL_INTERFACE("76e54780-ad74-48e3-a695-3ba9a0aff10d")
IPreviousVersionsInfo : public IUnknown
{
public:
    virtual HRESULT STDMETHODCALLTYPE AreSnapshotsAvailable( 
        /* [string][in] */ LPCWSTR pszPath,
        /* [in] */ BOOL fOkToBeSlow,
        /* [retval][out] */ BOOL *pfAvailable) = 0;
};
