I don't know how to look at the path, but I use MS3.5 as well and when I loaded my contacts (backed up on Microsoft MyPhone) I never messed with the contacts in Mobile Shell. My ringtones all work fine. Almost every contact I have has their own ringtone which I made. They are MP3s and I have them loaded on my phone memory in the \My Documents\My Ringtones folder.

Hope some of this information helps.
