# Known Folder GUIDs for File Dialog Custom Places

You use a <xref:System.Guid> to specify a Windows Known Folder when you add folders to a <xref:System.Windows.Forms.FileDialog.CustomPlaces%2A> collection. Known Folder GUIDs are not case sensitive and are defined in the [KnownFolders.h file in the Windows SDK](/windows/win32/shell/knownfolderid).

> [!NOTE]
> In some cases, a Known Folder added to the <xref:System.Windows.Forms.FileDialogCustomPlacesCollection> won't be shown in the **Favorite Links** area. For example, if the specified Known Folder is not present on the computer that is running the application, the Known Folder isn't shown.

## List of GUIDs

The following table lists Windows Known Folders and their associated <xref:System.Guid>.
