Hello,

shlobj.pp defines SHOpenPropSheetA but, that function no longer exists
in Win 7 through Win 11.

In does exist in Win XP.  I do not know if it exists in Vista.

Anyway, it might be worth adding a comment to SHOpenPropSheetA in
shlobj.pp noting that the function is only guaranteed to be available
in Win XP (it might be available in the Win9x series but, I have not
checked, therefore I don't know.)

HTH.

You seem to be partially right:
Quoteretired in 6.0 from Windows Vista, and higher
Seems Export is only by ordinal 707
