put the files and folders you want in your /home/you/desktop folder and then drag and drop onto the screen and chose folder view when asked.

yeah...i already did that and a widget will appear like an open folder and in it there will be the files and folders, but that's not what i want , is there any other way to do it ?

mebbe what u want is.....

1. right click on desktop -> Desktop Settings
2. Under Desktop Activity -> Type -> choose 'Folder View'

This way u can have both files/folders in desktop plus widgets...
