You'll need to ask in a group that knows about Windows-specific
things like this. However, my guess would be that you need to
include another Windows-specific header prior to <shellapi.h>.
Check your documentation, and if you can't figure out which one(s)
you need, ask in one of the Windows-specific newsgroups. (Perhaps
somewhere in the comp.os.ms-windows.* tree?)
