UndocShell: A demo of a dozen undocumented Shell32.dll functions

This example provides names, descriptions and VB calling syntax for 12 functions found in the Shell32.dll dynamic link library which are undocumented by Microsoft. These functions are exported only by ordinal number and are not directly callable by name. As a result, they have been labeled in their DLL declare statements to accurately depict the respective operations performed.

Included are four system dialog functions: SHRestartSystemMB, SHShutDownDialog, SHRunDialog, SHChangeIconDialog; and various file system related functions including SHFileExists and SHGetShortPathName.
