APIShellExConstants.au3 : missing entry concerning FOLDERID_Desktop — at Initial Version

Description

For a project I had to use FOLDERID_Documents I was suprised that this variable was missing from : APIShellExConstants.au3

So I have edited : APIShellExConstants.au3 to add below line 623 :

Global Const $FOLDERID_Documents = '{FDD39AD0-238F-46AF-ADB4-6C85480369C7}'

and of course it's works as expected (perfectly without any other modification !)

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/shell/knownfolderid?redirectedfrom=MSDN

say:

FOLDERID_Documents
GUID 	{FDD39AD0-238F-46AF-ADB4-6C85480369C7}
Display Name 	Documents
Folder Type 	PERUSER
Default Path 	%USERPROFILE%\Documents
CSIDL Equivalents 	CSIDL_MYDOCUMENTS, CSIDL_PERSONAL
Legacy Display Name 	My Documents
Legacy Default Path 	%USERPROFILE%\My Documents

This quick "fix" allow to do, example:

Local $Dst = "C:\Temp\Documents"
_WinAPI_ShellSetKnownFolderPath($FOLDERID_Documents, $Set_Dst, 0, 0)

Is this quick "fix" could being added to the next AutoIT version ?
