Windows 10: Can't redirect personal folders in 1809

After installing 1809, I found my personal folders settings are LOST, and the old personal folders and new personal folders are all listed under my profile.


I searched the registry \HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders, the folders settings are pointed to the older folders.


I tried to redirect the folders, but the "Location" can't be modified in the folders' "Properties".



How to solve this problem?

Hide or Show User Profile's Personal Folders in Navigation Pane


Thank you in advance to everyone for your help and time. Hopefully this write-up is succinct.
I believe there has to be additional registry modifications to solve this issue.


Problem:
In the Navigation Pane, specifically regarding the Current User folder tree, a Personal Folder (i.e. 3D Objects, Contacts, Desktop, etc... ) continues to show even after making active the Hidden property for that Personal Folder.

Expected Results:
Any Personal Folder that is marked "Hidden" in the File/Folder Listings Area should also be hidden in the Navigation Pane specifically within the Current User folder tree.

Steps to recreate the issue: (the following steps assume that the option is deactivated to see hidden folders.)

1. Open File Explorer
2. Within Navigation Pane, Right-click over any blank area
3. Select menu-option "Show All Folders"
4. Select and Expand the Current User folder tree which is listed as a child object to the "Desktop" folder
5. Within the File/Folder Listings Area, Right-click on a Personal Folder
6. Select menu-option "Properties"
7. Within the new Dialogue window, Select the "General" tab, Select to Activate the Attribute "Hidden", Select the "OK" button
8. Close File Explorer and then Open File Explorer
9. Select the Current User folder in the Navigation Pane
10. Notice the recently-hidden folder is still showing in the Navigation Pane even though it is hidden in the File/Folder Listings Area.

Cannot add contacts personal folders to address book in Outlook 2016


Many thanks for all your suggestions, HippsieGypsie, but nothing seems to be working. I cannot delete my folder so I have to keep trying to get it included in the list of available address books. My contacts are all in the Contacts - Personal Folders, but this list is not included amongst those offered by Outlook as a default address book.

 

WM6 Windows Live Mail personal folders disappearing weekly on T-Mobile Dash

I have a T-Mobile Dash with WM6 ROM ver. 1.22.531.4 which originally had ver. 1.22.531.6 which I replaced with the 1.22.531.4 ver. after 2 weeks because it seemed to have a substantial memory leak, as in 6-8 hours all memory was gone with little to no use.

CURRENT ISSUE: I have many special or personal folders which I have created on Windows Live Mail, I have my e-mail
sorted automatically so I am organized, most of my important mail gets sorted into these personal folders, I cannot believe I
am the only one with a Dash or WM6 for that matter that does this.
Originally I had 20 personal folders synced at 2,500 characters each, I also have the sync setting set to” immediately” so it acts as a "true" push-pull technology, half the reason I purchased this phone.
Now after I loaded the 1.22.531.4 ver. the first weekend (Saturday morning) it dumped all my personal folders after giving a message that the connection to the server had been lost (or something to that effect) and reverted back to the
standard folder list (Deleted Items, Drafts, Inbox, Outbox, Sent Items).
So I reloaded the 1.22.531.4 ROM again and did not install any additional software again.
1 week later same thing, so I called T-mobile and spoke with 2nd level and they stated that 20 folders at 50 messages each is 1000 messages and is “too many” according to their “escalation team” she also added that it may have been using too much system
memory to hold the messages and may have dumped for that reason. So the following week I trimmed it down to 10 folders and noticed that it only took an additional 1.5MB of system memory with all messages synced, not much at all.
After 2 weeks, again on a Saturday morning I received a disconnect message first thing in the morning and instead of going into the folder list I rebooted the phone, my messages were still there, but then the next day on Sunday morning my phone had no
disconnect message and when went into the folder list again, back to the same default folder list.
Again this happened 1 week later in the exact same steps which was this weekend.
Again I called T-Mobile 1st requesting I get a copy of the 1.22.531.6 ROM, they of course claim to know nothing about it, then I requested to give me a new phone, well they would only give me a refurb which she guaranteed would be 1.22.531.4.
So the only useful information I got out of this conversation was that using special characters in folder names will make a sync not work at all, well all of my personal folders have special characters such as _ and . to sort them by grouping, but they
do sync fine originally, it’s just on the weekend in the morning for some reason they fall off.
So my next step will be to rename all of my folders to alphanumeric characters only and see if that makes a difference.

1. Has anyone else experienced a sync issue between Windows Live Mail and WM6 using personal folders?

2. Does anyone know where you can receive a copy of the 1.22.531.6 ROM version which comes preloaded on Dash’s purchased from T-Mobile?
