You should install the strongly recommended Internet Explorer 4 if you 
haven't.  A proper shell.dll certainly is included with it.  I don't know if 
it is included in IE 3 or not (the download page says IE 3 is required, that 
might be outdated, I just don't know.)

The function you are missing probably is "SHGetSpecialFolderPath" as there 
is no such thing as "GetSpecialFolderNames" anywhere in the POV-Ray for 
Windows source code.
