Here is a table of supported GUIDs for special folders.

These GUIDs can be passed to ShellLinkHelper.setSpecialFolderTarget function. Use the Registry class to access some predefined constants or get the GUIDs by name. Note that, you can add your own GUIDs available on your system using Registry.registerClsid function. If you discover some common ones I missed, please consider making a PR.
