Bug in TweakUI?

I may have discovered a bug in TweakUI. For the second time, I've had icons
show up in my CD Burning folder -- but when I delete the icon, the ORIGINAL
program folder goes away too!

This happens after I use TweakUI to change the location of my "CD Burning"
folder. When I checked the registry, the key showed the new location, but
did not specify a new "CD Burning" folder in that new location. As a
result, the CD Burning application listed all the other items in the parent
folder as being ready to write to CD.

I fixed the problem by adding "CD Burning" to the registry key, and adding a
"CD Burning" in the new location.

Problem solved.

Note: TweakUI changes the location of all the other special folders without
problem. But it seems to be missing a beat with CD Burning changes.

NOW, in <My Documents> I have a folder named <CD Burning>
NOW, in the registry, I have a key that points to "C:\My Documents\CD
Burning"

Have I discovered a bug?
 
The 'Special Folders' redirect in TweakUI doesn't create folders that don't exist. Sounds like you
pointed 'CD Burning' to 'My Documents' and assumed it was going to create a new subfolder. It's not
designed that way.
 
That makes sense. I'll first create the folders, then use TweakUI to
point to them. Now I understand why some settings just haven't taken! LOL
Thank you!
