Yes, that's correct.

Looks good to me.

This should work, but you should do this in GetAttributesOf and not in 
Intialize[Ex], passing the rfgInOut parameter instead of &This->dwAttributes. 
See below.

Ooops, no idea. Sorry. Could you send me the complete diff?

If you use rfgInOut you don't have to set dwAttributes to 0xffffffff. The 
caller specifies, which flags it is interested in.

I meant that you should remove the dwAttributes member from IGenericFSFolder 
and call SHELL32_GetItemAttributes in shfldr_fs's GetAttributesOf method 
passing the rfgInOut parameter. You don't have to modify the Initialize[Ex] 
methods.

That said, this is the preferable option in my opinion. At the end of the day, 
it's up to you (or in effect Alexandre).

I don't see why this should crash (also I think that it belongs in 
GetAttributesOf instead of InitializeEx). Oh, perhaps I know the reason for 
the crash: Do you do the same stuff in Initialize (the non 'Ex' versions). If 
not and the shellfolder is initialized via 'Initialize' instead of 
'InitializeEx' the value of the dwAttributes is basically random, which might 
cause a crash. Nevertheless, if you move it to GetAttributes of, those are of 
course non problems.
