Description

These items are referred to as "Constant Special Item ID List values" or CSIDL values everywhere in the APIs, but this article doesn't have that term. Adding the term+abbreviation will make this page more discoverable when folks need to lookup up a CSIDL value. This change would mean googling for 'what is CSIDL 36?' or 'What is the CSIDL for the Windows directory?' would be more likely to find this page.

This:
`Specifies enumerated constants used to retrieve directory paths to system special folders.

Could become this:
'Specifies enumerated Constant Special Item ID List (CSIDL) values used to retrieve directory paths to system special folders.

And the table column header 'Value' could become 'CSIDL Value'.
