installing a program

in my program i have build some links with the SHAddToRecentDocs, and
in the c:\windows\recent i have my .lnk files,
to copy them from the Recent directory to startup directory and programs
directory i have used the advapi functions to query the keys of the
registry ( to know the values contained in shell folders ) and in this
way knowing the locations of the needed special folders.
        On my computer (Windows 95) it works, but a such system can work
on computers with Windows98 or Windows2000 ? There are Shell functions
as SHGetSpecialFolderLocation and SHGetPathFromIDList to get these
locations but these functions need the hwnd parameter while i do these
operations out of the WndProc func and in this way i have not the hwnd
parameter so i must use the advapi functions to get special folder
locations...
        Can someone tell me something about it ?

        Thanks Flaminio
