So I have this error:
Error 1 error LNK2019: unresolved external symbol _imp_StrRetToBufW@16 referenced in function _wmain

I include:

 #include "stdafx.h"
 #include <shlobj.h>
 #include <shlwapi.h>
 #include <iostream>

and I call the function like this:

 StrRetToBuf(&strDispName, pidlItems, pszDisplayName, MAX_PATH);

So there is a linker error. Any fixes?

    The reference page for StrRetToBuf() states that you must link with Shlwapi.lib.
