Special folders are folders such as My Computer, Control Panel, My Network Places, My Documents, Windows directory, etc. See the SpecialFolderTypes enumeration for a complete list of special folders.

Use the IsSpecialFolder method of ListItem class to determine whether a listitem is a 'special' item. For example, to determine whether an item is the 'Control Panel' , use the following code :

[VB6]
If fileVw.FirstSelectedItem.IsSpecialFolder(SpecialFolderTypes.Controls) Then
MsgBox ("Selected item is the 'Control Panel' ")
End If

[C++]
//For SpecialFolderTypes.CONTROLS, value = 3
if( m_filevw.GetFirstSelectedItem().IsSpecialFolder(3))
AfxMessageBox(_T("Selected item is the 'Control Panel' "));
