Hi Uttam_D,

This message will be popped in SDK7.0 if NTDDI_VERSION >= NTDDI_WIN2K. The header file has been deprecated in Windows 2000 or later OS, as the message mentioned, please use the shlobj.h/shell32.lib instead if targetting Windows 2000 or higher.

I believe it is a by design behavior if you are using SDK7.0A and VS2010. Please note, the minimal supported OS for VC++ 2010 CRT is Windows XP SP3, therefore, always use shlobj.h in VC++ 2010. You can find all the CSIDL definition in the shlobj.h.
