interop question - shell

Is it alright to add a reference to shell32.dll and then use the objects in
that namespace, like: Shell32.FolderItem ? (and then distribute the app to
various windows operating systems)

The reason I ask, I created an app that does this, and when I transfer the
code to a project with stricter compile options, it errors and says the
shell32.dll doesn't have a strong name. Should I rewrite all the code to
use pinvoke interop instead of the namespace? And...if so, can you do
everything through interop that you could through the namespace (like
Shell32.FolderItem)??

Any and all suggestions are welcome. This has set me back considerably.
