You must make the folder either readonly or a system folder with attrib (using Explorer does not work). This can be done with attrib +r or attrib +s from the command line. The solution was found.

Using RegMon I can see the only registry key that TweakUI changes is "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders\My Videos" to the folder that it should be. Just setting this doesn't work. Additionally, putting the correct desktop.ini file in the folder does nothing either. Once the folder is customized in anyway (like any action that would create a desktop.ini) however putting the correct desktop.ini does work. This is probably due to it being stored on the internal Explorer's list of customized folders. It seems that once a folder is on this list you can customize it all you want manually. But how do you get it on the list manually? Is there a way to do this manually?
