Shell Folder Attributes |
||
| SFGAO_CANCOPY | 0x00000001 |

Already handled for physical ShellFolders instances. Default for items: false. Default for folders: false. |
| SFGAO_FOLDER | 0x20000000 |
The specified items are folders.
Should not be changed. Default for items: false. Default for folders: true. |
| SFGAO_FILESYSTEM | 0x40000000 |
The specified folders or files are part of the file system (that is, they are files, directories, or root directories).
The parsed names of the items can be assumed to be valid Win32 file system paths. These paths can be either UNC or drive-letter based. Already handled for physical ShellFolders and ShellItems instances. Default for items: true (physical) or false (virtual). Default for folders: true (physical) or false (virtual). |
| SFGAO_HASSUBFOLDER | 0x80000000 |
The specified folders have subfolders.
The SFGAO_HASSUBFOLDER attribute is only advisory and might be returned by Shell folder implementations even if they do not contain subfolders. Note, however, that the converse - failing to return SFGAO_HASSUBFOLDER - definitively states that the folder objects do not have subfolders. Returning SFGAO_HASSUBFOLDER is recommended whenever a significant amount of time is required to determine whether any subfolders exist. For example, the Shell always returns SFGAO_HASSUBFOLDER when a folder is located on a network drive. Already handled, but may be changed if needed (when we are sure that the folder is empty). Default for items: false. Default for folders: true. |
