Virtual folders are not part of the file system, which is to say that they have no path. For example, Control Panel and Printers are virtual folders. A number of features such as folder path and redirection do not apply to this category.

| KF_CATEGORY_FIXED | 2 |
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 features such as redirection do not apply to this category.

| KF_CATEGORY_COMMON | 3 |
Common folders are those file system folders 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.
|
| KF_CATEGORY_PERUSER | 4 |
Per-user folders are those stored under each user's profile and accessible only by that user. For example, %USERPROFILE%\Pictures. This category of folder usually supports many features including aliasing, redirection and customization.
