Little bit late, but its working fine for me, That's why adding an answer:

Toy can follow the instructions furnished in this Post: Creating a Link in the Left Pane of the File Explorer - like OneDrive or DropBox, Copy those registry entries and save it as a file with .reg extension and execute that file from your application if you need to change it from application. or else run that reg file from your system for Applying the changes.

For running registry files you can use the following code:

Process regeditProcess = Process.Start("regedit.exe", "/s yourRegistryFile.reg");
regeditProcess.WaitForExit();
