Using IKnownFolderManager and IKnownFolder I managed to get the path to C:\Program Files and its corresponding IShellItem. After that I managed to create a directory in that location using IFileOperation. Now, I want to create a file in the new directory. Since IFileOperation needs IShellItem, how do I get the corresponding IShellItem of the new directory?

PS: I'm new to COM and Win32 API.

When using IFileOperation::NewItem(), you can use an IFileOperationProgressSink object, its PostNewItem() event will give you the IShellItem of the new item you create. You can either pass the sink object to NewItem() directly, or pass it to IFileOperation::Advise() before calling IFileOperation::PerformOperations().

Alternatively, you can use SHCreateItemFromRelativeName() instead, after PerformOperations() is successful.
