Return value

Remarks

IShellLibrary::Save and SHSaveLibraryInFolderPath create a new library file, and save the file to disk.

To save changes made to a library that has an existing library file, call IShellLibrary::Commit.

If the library is saved in the Libraries known folder (FOLDERID_Libraries), the library's location is automatically added to the system index.
