In the same file in which I am calling that function.

Yes I have #include "stdafx.h" #include "shlobj.h" #define _WIN32_IE 0x0500

If you insert this line on StdAfx.h I think it must solve:)

You must define it before anything else.

Try it like this: #define _WIN32_IE 0x0500 #include "stdafx.h" #include "shlobj.h" If you want, you can put _WIN32_IE=0x500 into the PreProcessor Definitions on the Project Properties page Scott

Perhaps you meant to respond to Rakesh.
