Help Shortcut to file

I want to create a shortcut for a file that I put on my phones sd card.
Lets say I put a html file on my sd card. How can I make that html file a shortcut on my phone?
 
I can't remember if TouchWiz allows you to do this, but I think it does. It definitely works with LauncherPro.

Long press on a home screen and at the "Add to Home Screen" pop-up, select "folders" and follow the prompts.
 
Install ES Bookmark Manager (a plugin for ES File Explorer). Then long-press a file or folder in ES File explorer and tap "Shortcut." This puts a shortcut to the file or folder on your home screen.

Astro has a similar function, but it requires that Astro keeps running in the background. The ES File Explorer shortcuts don't need any background processes.
 
I use Linda File Manager because

1. it's free
2. on the Market
3. high rating
4. small and lightweight
5. allows you to create a shortcut to a file, and put the shortcut on home screen
6. you can uninstall Linda File Manager later and the shortcut remains
7. it's FREE

click the THANKS button, follow me on twitter.com/peter733 & facebook.com/peter733
