Try Simi Folder, from the Market. I haven't tried it on the tablet yet but it works great on my phone. It may be just what you're looking for, considering there's no means to do it inherently.

Can you please explain yourself in a bit more detail? Maybe explain exactly what you want to achieve or what you're comparing this functionality to? Then members can probably help you a bit better.

I too thought you just wanted to manipulate files on your tablet. I have no idea what you mean by "create a folder on my desktop to put my apps in them".

I am talking about creating a folders on my main screen so that I can put my games in one folder just like how we do it normally on our Android devices. So that i can have a shortcut on my main screen for my games. Hope i was clear enough??

I tried to look for it but cannot find it on the market.

Ok, you mean the Home Screens. Sorry, I thought you meant the desktop of a computer OS like Windows 7 or OSX. In which case I was stumped.

There's no option for that on the A500 it seems. Not sure if that's due to Acer or Google. But you can put your games in the Game Zone if you wish, I use that as a replacement for Home Screen folders. Just go into your app drawer and look for the Games shortcut. It also links to Multimedia, ebooks and social so you can throw those kind of apps into those areas as well and switch through quickly.

Hope this helps.
