Everything I've read here seems to be about building & modifying folders within the application menu. I like that, but I want to access those folders... or at least the application menu, directly from my desktop.
Normally, if you nave nothing running in the background, it's a simple click to get the application menu. But if you have other apps running, you have to go though the current apps screen first. So... it it possible to build a widget or something to go directly to an application folder... if not, then at least a widget or shortcut from desktop directly to the application menu??

@ uncleboarder:
i read somewhere on these forums that when you goto a folder in the webbrowser and favorite the folder. you can add the folder as a favorite to your desktop.
as for these folder makings. someone said the instructions need a re-write.
would someone be so kind to make a walk-through of sorts of what files i need to edit and where to place them?
I'm new to linux and maemo but learn and see things rather quickly.
(have root access with MC and have a ssh connection with an almost full backup. so if i mess up i can reupload the originals)
help would be appreciated

Using modified-hildon-desktop (see my signature) you can open the application menu (called launcher) with a simple dbus command. You can write a one-line script that sends this command (the package keyboard-shortcuts includes such script), and you can use a widget that allows running scripts to use it on the desktop.
