It's not obvious to me where we would call CoUninitialize in this case. As I 
understand it, we have to keep COM initialized until the created object is 
destroyed again. The short test program, which I've sent with the initial 
mail, seems to indicate that while COM is initialized inside 
SHBrowseForFolder, it's un-initialized again afterwards.
