*FunctionPTR = GetFunction( 1, "SHGetSpecialFolderPathA")
rr = CallCFunctionFast( *FunctionPTR , 0, FontDir, x0014, 0)

in above, what is x0014 - is it a hexidecimal value ie. 17 in decimal?

It's a constant referring to the special folder you want to obtain the path of.

Hex 14 is 20 decimal. In this case, it is a CSIDL

From MS:
CSIDL

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

CSIDL values provide a unique system-independent way to identify special folders used frequently by applications, but which may not have the same name or location on any given system. For example, the system folder may be "C:\Windows" on one system and "C:\Winnt" on another.

CSIDL_PROGRAMS (0x0002)
The file system directory that contains the user's program groups (which are themselves file system directories). A typical path is C:\Documents and Settings\username\Start Menu\Programs.

CSIDL_RECENT (0x0008)
The file system directory that contains shortcuts to the user's most recently used documents. A typical path is C:\Documents and Settings\username\My Recent Documents. To create a shortcut in this folder, use SHAddToRecentDocs. In addition to creating the shortcut, this function updates the Shell's list of recent documents and adds the shortcut to the My Recent Documents submenu of the Start menu.

CSIDL_SENDTO (0x0009)
The file system directory that contains Send To menu items. A typical path is C:\Documents and Settings\username\SendTo.

CSIDL_STARTMENU (0x000b)

Remarks

These values supersede the use of environment variables for this purpose.

A CSIDL is used in conjunction with one of four Shell functions, SHGetFolderLocation, SHGetFolderPath, SHGetSpecialFolderLocation, and SHGetSpecialFolderPath, to retrieve a special folder's path or pointer to an item identifier list (PIDL).

Combine CSIDL_FLAG_CREATE with any of the other CSIDLs to force the creation of the associated folder. The remaining CSIDLs correspond to either file system folders or virtual folders. Where the CSIDL identifies a file system folder, a commonly used path is given as an example. Other paths may be used. Some CSIDLs can be mapped to an equivalent %VariableName% environment variable. CSIDLs are more reliable, however, and should be used if possible.
