Get IShellItem for Quick Access?

Question

This failes with 0x80070057:

SHCreateItemFromParsingName(L"::{679F85CB-0220-4080-B29B-5540CC05AAB6}", NULL, IID_PPV_ARGS(&psi))

While this works for "My Computer":

SHCreateItemFromParsingName(L"::{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}", NULL, IID_PPV_ARGS(&psi))

Am I using the wrong GUID for Quick Access?

Note this GUID (CLSID_HomeFolder) is not officially documented.

You must use this type of parsing name instead for it to work (shell: is a url scheme):

SHCreateItemFromParsingName(L"shell:::{679F85CB-0220-4080-B29B-5540CC05AAB6}", NULL, IID_PPV_ARGS(&psi));
