Emerson,

I've never tested the DLL under XP and don't have a box to test it on.

The FindDesktopFolder function uses lstrlen() to determine the result returned. I don't know if this might enter into it, but if Unicode is involved, that might be the source of the problem.

The -3 indicates that the set icon routine, that the file's location couldn't be resolved.

If you could post the code, and the results from FindDesktop folder, it might help unravel this.
