In the patch.  The object returned by SHGetDesktopFolder does not have 
CLSID_ShellFSFolder, yet it does not fail in the shlwapi EnumObjects 
call.  Running the test with and without the functionality change shows 
this.

I guess I could go try to dig up some IShellFolder instance which 
succeeds a plain IShellFolder_EnumObjects call and fails a shlwapi 
EnumObjects call, but I wouldn't even know where to start for that.  If 
the old functionality was required, it needs a test or at least a 
comment.  As far as current knoweldge goes, it's both simpler and more 
correct with this patch than it was without.
