Bug: Existing Library folder can be pinned again #16858

Description

Within Libraries, you apparently have the option to pin a default Library folder to the Sidebar, despite it already existing on the Sidebar.
However, doing so will create a duplicate on the Sidebar. In addition, checking the Properties of any pinned item on the Sidebar is treated as a Standard Folder that have the options to Customize it... but it won't do anything even if saving changes.

Steps To Reproduce

  1. Navigate to the Libraries folder: C:\Users\*Username*\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Libraries
  2. Right-Click any default Library folder (Documents, Pictures, Music, etc.) and select "Pin to Sidebar".
  3. A duplicate will appear on the pinned section of the sidebar.
  4. Compare the Right-Click > Properties between a Library folder and a pinned Library folder.
    Pinned items are treated as standard folders with customization, while Library folders are treated as Libraries
