TJ, I'm afraid I don't really follow what you're saying there, but looking at your method, this presents a challenge. There is no file browser built into Android, such as Windows Explorer, so to carry this out, two things have to happen:

1) have an app that can create a shortcut on the desktop to a file browser app
2) have a file browser app (Root explorer, Astro, etc.) that can launch to a folder

So the question is, how would one go about creating two shortcuts on the desktop, one that launches a window to the "videos" folder, and one that launches a window to the "music" folder (for example)? It would seem to me that once you setup Astro (or any other file browser) to launch to a specific folder, that any shortcut that launches Astro would launch to *only* that one folder.

If you could elaborate a bit on your instructions please ...
