Getting 404 when opening Sitecore Media Library
<p>Related to the question

I was specifically tasked to remove the tilde prefix on the media folder (also mentioned in one of the answer from the question).
I get 404 when opening the media library afterwards like the related question above. So I added /sitecore/shell/Applications/Media/MediaShop AND /sitecore/shell/Applications/Media/Media Folder.aspx to the IgnoreUrlPrefix setting in the web.config
This fixes the issue, but i'm not sure how this fixed the problem, and why removing the tilde on the media folder causes 404 on media library page.
Can someone please explain ?</p>
