No, this is not what I meant actually. The possible reason it was named 
as IUnknown_EnumObjects is the same as for the rest of similar calls. 
IUknown is a valid input for all of them and another _QueryInterface is 
performed for IID_IShellFolder is case of this function. That makes no 
sense to have such export as your patch makes it, but it's possible of 
course. I expect that is does check that IShellFolder is supported.
