I mean, create different types of shellfolders, then test that function 
accepts them all. And a simple check that QI isn't called for 
IShellFolder, so
argument expected to be IShellFolder pointer.

Remove tests and add a note in function code that this GetClassID method 
is actually called for unknown purpose.

Another way is to make is accept another CLSID, if I got it right it is 
why you started to patch it.
