FOLDERSETTINGS

The FOLDERSETTINGS structure is passed from one folder view to another when the user is browsing. It calls IShellView::GetCurrentInfo to get the current settings and passes them to IShellView::CreateViewWindow to allow the next folder view to "inherit" it. These setttings assume a particular UI, which the shell's folder view has. Shell extensions may or may not use these settings.
