Do the following: (1) make sure that widgets are unlocked, (2) right-click on the desktop and choose "Add widgets", (3) within the user-interface that opens up, find the "Folder View" widget, (4) Drag&drop the "Folder View" widget onto the desktop. This process is in fact also described in the second link I have pointed you to: http://www.maketecheasier.com/get-the-most-out-of-kde4s-folderview-widget/2009/05/08 I wasn't joking when I said that you should read it.
