[shell-coding] COM help please?

ok, I allready posted something on the matter, so here's the
code-part that makes me cry.

What am I doing wrong here that the proggy does call the
findfiles under explorer, but as soon as I fire up a shell like
litestep, this function seems to do nothing?

//cut here

VOID RunFinder( VOID )
{
    HRESULT rc;
    IShellDispatch *pShellDisp = NULL;
    CoInitialize( NULL );

    rc = CoCreateInstance( CLSID_Shell, "shell32.dll",
CLSCTX_SERVER,
    IID_IShellDispatch, (LPVOID *) &pShellDisp );

    pShellDisp->FindFiles();
    pShellDisp->Release();
    CoUninitialize();
    return;
}

//cut here

The snippet is also attached, if your mail client should destroy
format.
Thanks for any feedback that may come.

VOID RunFinder( VOID )
{
    HRESULT rc;
    IShellDispatch *pShellDisp = NULL;
    CoInitialize( NULL );

    rc = CoCreateInstance( CLSID_Shell, "shell32.dll", CLSCTX_SERVER,
    IID_IShellDispatch, (LPVOID *) &pShellDisp );

    pShellDisp->FindFiles();
    pShellDisp->Release();
    CoUninitialize();
    return;
}
