    // - `rfid` is a reference to a known folder ID, provided by `windows-sys`.
    // - `dwFlags` can be `0` per the documentation, we have no special retrieval
    //   requirements, so use the default defined in `windows-sys`.
    //   The `KNOWN_FOLDER_FLAG` enum is documented here:
    //   https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/api/shlobj_core/ne-shlobj_core-known_folder_flag
    // - `hToken` is "an access token that represents a particular user. If this
    //   parameter is `NULL`, which is the most common usage, the function
    //   requests the known folder for the current user. We want the known folder
    //   for the current user, so use `ptr::null_mut()`.
    // - `ppszPath` is an out parameter and should be a NULL pointer to a PWSTR.
