Never mind!! I found the answer.
Many Many thanks for a GREAT tool -- I use it heavily.
One item would be very helpful for me. I have many of my launcher entry's organized into folders (Security Apps, Photo Apps, Misc Links, etc). That works superbly -- click a folder name, then click a launcher entry in that folder. That helps keep the main Launcher background and list reasonable short. However, to get back to the main list requires a right click and select "Refresh Skin". I can't tell you how many times, in haste, I hit the wrong selection on that right-click menu!!
I have tried to figure a way to code a Launcher line item that would perform a "Refresh Skin" function. Is that something that is even possible, and if so, any suggestion? I would add that as the last line item in each folder.
Again, many thinks for this great tool!!

Hi FroggyBV,
Have a look in the Rainmeter Docs
I think the "PreviousFolder" command for the fileView Plugin is what you are looking for

Setuini, thanks for the reply...
As you suggested, I have been reading about the fileview plugin and PreviousFolder command in the Rainmeter Docs, and I believe you are correct that is the answer I am looking for!
I am not a total novice at this type thing, however I have not yet read enough to understand the syntax of the command, or where it needs to be inserted into the ini file.
I will continue to study the docs and do "trial-'n'-error" testing, as I have time.
Thanks again, and thanks for any additional guidance you have time to offer!

Greetings ........
I have just downloaded and installed this "File View Launcher". The Launcher background panel appears, however, clicking the settings button on the right top does nothing!
I used this heavily on a previous system and LOVED it, but can not remember how to create the menu folder.'
Thanks for any help.......

You have to create a Measure to get the text:
[mIndex13Name]
Measure
lugin
Plugin=FileView
Path=[mPath]
Type=FileName
Index=13
Group=Children
and a Meter to display it:
[Index13Info]
Meter=String
MeasureName=mIndex13Name
Mouseoveraction=[!setoption Index13Info Fontcolor "#Hovercolor#"][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]
Mouseleaveaction=[!setoption Index13Info Fontcolor "#Fontcolor#"][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]
LeftMouseUpAction=[!CommandMeasure mIndex11Name "FollowPath"][!UpdateMeasure mPath][!UpdateMeasureGroup Children][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]
MeterStyle=TextStyle | InfoStyle
you have to this for every line
[mIndex13Name]
Measure

Plugin=FileView
Path=[mPath]
Type=FileName
Index=13
Group=Children
and a Meter to display it:
[Index13Info]
Meter=String
MeasureName=mIndex13Name
Mouseoveraction=[!setoption Index13Info Fontcolor "#Hovercolor#"][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]
Mouseleaveaction=[!setoption Index13Info Fontcolor "#Fontcolor#"][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]
LeftMouseUpAction=[!CommandMeasure mIndex11Name "FollowPath"][!UpdateMeasure mPath][!UpdateMeasureGroup Children][!UpdateMeter *][!Redraw]
