I found one of my friend not able to select user ringtone(any music file) from sd card as alarm ringtone so posting this.
Just Install ES Explorer
tap on alarm ringtone, you will get a pop up (app selector) having es in it.
Use ES to navigate to desired file, Done!
My friend has ES installed already but somewhere he select built in app as default thus ES pop up was not coming in.
Just reinstall ES to get it back.
Hit thanks if this helps....

Hi, how can I create a link to a specific folder on the desktop? I downloaded folder organizer as I thought it could do it but can't figure out a way, either with that or the default inbuilt shortcut options.
I'd like to know too.. How would I go about making a shortcut to some pdfs or some folders?
I use ES File Explorer and just tap and hold a file or folder then choose "Shortcut" from the pop-up menu to add it to a home page. Easy as pie.
No way, that was easy, ta.
Would love to get one that I could set on a sceen to take me to the picture folder I want to view..
and or the folder where I have video's..
I want to use it for meetings.. so when I go in to one and show pictures of our production, I dont have to go in to Gallary and
let everyone see whats in there..
What would be perfect is a full screen of this widgets linking me to the sub-directries that I have setup with different artwork of different Clients..
I have been looking at different wiget programs but none have this ability as yet,well not that I have worked out..
Anyone found one or got any tips on this?

One option is to have a shortcut Folder set on your screen that launches a file manager and takes you directly to that folder.
The free app ES File Explorer will allow you to create a shortcut.
1. Install ES File Explorer.
2. Open the app and navigate to the folder you want to create as a shortcut.
3. Press & Hold on the folder, from the menu that pops up select 'Shortcut'.
4. Quit the app and when you go back to the last Home Screen you were on, providing there is enough space you will now notice a new icon with the title of the folder you selected.
From now on whenever you wish to show your clients the material simply click on the folder icon on your Home Screen and it will take you directly to ES File Explorer the folder with all the contents shown.
This last bit is important......
When you select the first item you will notice a small window will pop up asking you if you wish to choose ES File Explorer or the Gallery app to display your material... Choose ES File Explorer.
The reason is if you choose Gallery it will only display that one single item and you have to go back to ES File Explorer to show the next and so on....
By instead choosing ES File Explorer as the method to display the material it instead shows you not only the material but as the bottom you will also notice a small thumbnail of each of the pictures.
To display a different picture either swipe left/right or tap on the thumbnail.
Job done....
thanks Beards,
great advice..
I am using it plus Android picture frame.. that lets me set up 4 3x3 widgets that load into the file system as well..
plus yours.. gives me a neat screen of fast get too's for client visits..
which in my case can be up to 6-8 in a big day..

When you insert a microSD card into the tablet itself, a notification icon comes up, from which you can launch the built in file explorer. Is there some way I can change the file explorer launched in this manner? I realize its probably a long shot, but I thought I'd at least give it a try.
Thanks in advance!
Gooooooooooood morning :laugh:
How to create a shortcut to a Excel file? I have made a special excel sheet to calculate many thing (temperature conversion, tax, microsoft points, etc.).
The file is on the tablet, but I don't know how to create a shortcut into the tablet. Right now I need to open Polaris, browse for the file, open the file... What I want to do is only start the file from the "desktop" of the tablet in one click.
Possible or not?
Thanks alot!
On my Asus are installed: X-plore ( manager, excellent and free) and Go launcher Ex (ibidem). So in Go Launcher ex select Add, then Shortcut, Then Add Shortcut (with X-plore icon). The X-plore is opened and browse to your file. Check the file, (on the right side of the file is check mark) and then press OK from bottom right of the screen.
The easiest way is download es file manager, find the file you want, long press on it and choose shortcut. Then it'll be on your home screen.
