The L prefix makes the string wide character, and since BSTRs are wide
character internally, the L prefix saves a conversion from single byte
character to wide character string. In other words, if you want to
compare a single byte character ("SoundRota") with a wide character
string (the BSTR) then one of them must be converted to the other type.
However if both strings are wide character (L"SoundRota" and the BSTR)
then no such conversion is necessary.
