WinQueryActiveDesktopPathname(pathName, size)

pathName (PSZ) - output: Memory buffer which this function will place the desktop folder's path name.
size (ULONG) - input: Size of the pathName memory buffer.

True if successful, false if not successful.

Returns from WinGetLastError should WinQueryActiveDesktopPathname fail:

INCL_WINWORKPLACE

...
PSZ pathName;
ULONG size;
BOOL rc;
...
rc = WinQueryActiveDesktopPathname (pathName, size);
...

Since the desktop directory may not be <boot drive>:\DESKTOP, this API call is used to retrieve the directory of the desktop.
