after that you must delete them.
restart windows to take effect.
now you can change each folder and the setting will stay
for a while. But windows only remembers 400 folders.
when that number is reached things start to go wrong.
You can up this to 1000 by adding this to the registry.
all tested and working.
things will last a little longer.

Now on the key,
"HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Shell"
add a new DWord value and name it BagMRU and edit the value
and change it to, 000003e8 and when you click ok it will
change to 1000.

First right-click on Icon or short-cut and go to
properties. In target box you want it to read:
%SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /n,/e, C:\
This will set it to open a new pane, go to C:\ and expand
tree.
