SHGetSpecialFolderLocation

Can someone tell me which parameter do I have to pass in 3rd argument of using SHGetSpecialFolderLocation(...) function in order to retrive the "Common Files" Folder? (C:/Program Files/Common Files)

Thanks in Advance

According to the MSDN article it's CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES_COMMON (or CSIDL_PROGRAM_FILES_COMMONX86 in case of accessing x86 folder on x64 system).
