Two open questions in components/c_dzShellControls.pas:

When setting the root path fails, a commented out Result := RootFolder carries the TODO "Remove the next line?".
In CreateWnd, the condition for CreateRoot has a commented out and (Items.Count = 0), with the TODO "What is the Items.Count test for here?".

Both need someone who knows why they were there, or a decision to delete them.

From the TODO scan in issue 12 of dzlib's ISSUES.md.
