      SHBrowseForFolder returns a pointer to an ITEMIDLIST. You can use the SHGetPathFromIDList() to retrieve the path of the folder selected. Use an IMalloc interface to free the memory pointed to by the ITEMIDLIST pointer.

      TCHAR thePath[_MAX_PATH];
      ITEMIDLIST* idl;
      idl = SHBrowseForFolder(A_Previously_Initialized_BROWSEINFO);
      if (idl)
      {
      if (SHGetPathFromIDList(idl, thePath))
      Do_Something_With(thePath);
      LPMALLOC lpMalloc; // pointer to IMalloc
      if (SHGetMalloc(&lpMalloc) == NOERROR)
      lpMalloc->Free(idl);
      }
