How to make a Homescreen Shortcut to a specific File Folder ?

I used to be able to do this using Astro File Manager on my DX but now can't see a way to do this on the Razr Maxx.

I have a file folder on my SD card that contains a bunch of data files. I'd like to have a Shortcut to that on my screen for quick access to the files.

Any words of wisdom on hos to do that? Maybe I need a different APP than Astro ??

thanks in advance.

Cody, I thought about answering, but as you probably know I don't have a Razr Maxx to test it out myself.  I have used the Estrongs File Explorer to create a folder shortcut on the Thunderbolt.  I haven't needed to make one on the Nexus yet.

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

Wow! A "shot in the dark" actually "hit its mark" so to speak.

The last time I tried Astro it was similar, but had some differences though.  This was when I still only had my Droid Eris.  Cody would be better to answer on the most recent version of the apps.

Yes, they are basically the same - but each have a bit of different features. So it depends on what features you want... They're both FREE so check 'em out and decide ..

Thanks Ann i had some Serious Eyes looking at my Maxx yesterday at my Cousins Wedding an the pictures i took was pretty good but i could use some time in that Department. Allot were asking Questions on my Maxx an they were amazed when i told them the battery life i was getting out it. Who knows some of them that were asking Questions on it might of went to the Verizon Store an got one for themselves if so i guess my Maxx did it's work for the Day!
