Problems with Data Types, Low Severity (8)

	Change	Effect
1	Base type has been changed from int to GETPROPERTYSTOREFLAGS.	Possible incorrect initialization of parameters by applications.

	Change	Effect
1	Value of member SIID_MAX_ICONS has been changed from 107 to 174.	Applications may execute a wrong branch of code in the library and therefore change the behavior.

	Change	Effect
1	Type of field lpIDList has been changed from LPVOID to void*.	Replacement of the field data type may indicate a change in the semantic meaning of the field.

	Change	Effect
1	Type of field lpIDList has been changed from LPVOID to void*.	Replacement of the field data type may indicate a change in the semantic meaning of the field.

	Change	Effect
1	Base type of field pcszClass has been changed from char (1 byte) to wchar_t (2 bytes).	Possible access of applications to incorrect memory through the pointer.
2	Base type of field pcszFile has been changed from char (1 byte) to wchar_t (2 bytes).	Possible access of applications to incorrect memory through the pointer.

	Change	Effect
1	Base type has been changed from tagFOLDERVIEWMODE to FOLDERVIEWMODE.	Possible incorrect initialization of parameters by applications.

	Change	Effect
1	Base type has been changed from tagSIGDN to _SIGDN.	Possible incorrect initialization of parameters by applications.

Problems with Constants (4)

	Change	Effect
1	The value of constant SHARD_PATH has been changed from 0x00000002L to SHARD_PATHA.	Applications will pass an old value of this constant as the parameter to the new-version library functions, that expect a new one. This may result in crash of incorrect behavior of applications.

	Change	Effect
1	The value of constant SHCNF_FLUSHNOWAIT has been changed from 0x2000 to 0x3000.	Applications will pass an old value of this constant as the parameter to the new-version library functions, that expect a new one. This may result in crash of incorrect behavior of applications.

	Change	Effect
1	The value of constant SFGAO_PKEYSFGAOMASK has been changed from 0x81044010L to 0x81044000L.	Applications will pass an old value of this constant as the parameter to the new-version library functions, that expect a new one. This may result in crash of incorrect behavior of applications.

	Change	Effect
1	The value of constant SVSI_NOSTATECHANGE has been changed from 0x80000000 to ((UINT)0x80000000).	Applications will pass an old value of this constant as the parameter to the new-version library functions, that expect a new one. This may result in crash of incorrect behavior of applications.
