I want to be able to create a shortcut to a folder and not to my home screen but to somwhere inside another directory. Cause the path to my extsdcard is different then on my note2 on cm11 so my poweramp doesn't restore some of the settings cause it thinks it's another folder on my note4, so i was thinking if i could make a shortcut that would have the same directory path as my note 2. Is this possible?

I installed TomTom any want it to go into the GPS FOLDER, how the HELL do i get it there?!?!?!
Well I just use file explorer to move or make shortcuts, depending on what you want to do you either select the exe file in file explorer, then go edit copy. Go to the folder where you want the shortcut then go edit paste shortcut. If you want to move a shortcut you just cut it and paste it into the desired folder.
There also is a nice app called reSTART that you could use to move shortcuts.
Is it possible to make a shortcut to the Games Folder (or any other folder) as a Quick Launch button on the today screen? I have several games and it would take up too many Quick Launch slots so just using one slot to the Games folder would be great.

You'll have to create the shortcut yourself using the file explorer (copy and 'paste shortcut'). Once you have the shortcut placed in the /Windows/Start Menu/Programs folder you should be able to add it to the home screen.
In case you didn't know the Games folder itself is located in /Windows/Start Menu/Programs
Thank you profahmad. I'm new to Windows Mobile so I'm still learning.
I tried your tip and now I could add the Games folder to the quick links. Unfortunately I thought it would open upp the Games folder like it looks in the Start menu. Instead Resco Eplorer opened the folder. Well well... no biggie.
Interestingly enough when I tried the same thing with another folder called "Shoutcast" on my storage card (contains pls-files to Internet Radio channels) I could add the folder to the Quicklink but I couldn't open it.
Anyway... thanks for the help
I don't think it's possible to force the Start menu itself to open a particular folder directly. You'll have to stick with the default file-explorer you have associated with the folders, in your case that would be the Resco Explorer.

That's strange, did you create a shotcut and paste it into /Windows/Programs? I just tested it with a folder on my storage card and it works perfectly. You may have copied and pasted (and not pasted a shortcut) by accident. Try it again.

Aah you're right, Start Menu can't be forced so that's the best we can do at the moment.
how can you add a folder shortcut on the screen with specific pics in it? I can see the add new folder function with the long press, but how do you find it to rename and add pics? didn't show up in astro
To rename a folder (I'm assuming this folder is on the home screen), first tap the folder to open it, then tap-hold on the folder name.
great, thanks, now how do I move pics into it?
I love this app and have intalled it onto my storage card in a folder where i keep all my .cab files, my only prblem is that i cant see it when i look for it in my programs, i,m wanting to put it as a quick link but cant? The only way i can run it is by going into file explorer and then storage card and then i the app folder i created and running it from there, where am i going wrong guys? help needed cheers
simple
go in file explorer to the file on sd card. tap and hold. click copy from the menu that appears.
open device\windows\start menu\programs and select there
(bottom screen) menu > edit > paste shortcut
rename the shortcut if you like
now you can select the file from start programs or assign it to a quick-link button.
BRILLIANT!!!
hi, i would like to make a short cut from a folder that is placed on my sd card and put it on my desktop ore in the app drawer.
is this possible and then how
File Manager HD from the market will do it....
Install app then long press on desktop screen choose the More tab.
You will see File Manager HD ....Click on it and you should get a popup. Put a check in the box for the folder you want the shortcut to point to. Finally click create button .
Astro will also allow you to create a shortcut. similar procedure to what bytemehard wrote...just do the long press - shortcut - astro and choose the folder from the pop-up. (i also tried with es file explorer but it doesn't seem to have the option)
