Obtains information about the current folder settings.

HRESULT GetCurrentInfo(

LPFOLDERSETTINGS lpfs	// Points to the folder settings
);

Parameters
lpfs
Pointer to a FOLDERSETTINGS structure to receive the settings.

Return Values
Returns NOERROR if successful or an OLE-defined error value otherwise.

Remarks
The Explorer uses GetCurrentInfo to query the view for standard settings.

Notes to Callers
Used to get the current view settings of the view.

Notes to Implementors
Return as many of the settings as apply. This is intended to let browsing from view to view maintain the same basic settings. For example, if the user sets Details view, going from one folder to the other in Explorer mode, it should remain in Details view.
