as a matter of fact, i don't think there's anything you can do.
xbmc will always remember where you were and return there next time you enter the video section.

ok but isnt adding ,Home Movies supposed to make my home movies tab open in that folder? this isnt happening. but to continue, how hard would it be to get what im looking for? which is in essence a new video button identical to the first but with a custom name and background sets?
btw thanx for all the help im really learning a lot!
that guy who made his comics tab into a new video tab did he get new interior backs or just a new button with custom back linked to the original videos view? since he changed the comics strings? i would try this but he wasnt clear about how he did this or if his results were worth trying.

yes IF your source has this name: Home Movies
AND you're using this command: <onclick>XBMC.ActivateWindow(VideoFiles,Home Movies)</onclick>
then xbmc will open that folder when you click that button.

then you're doing something wrong. just keep trying 'till you get it right. ;-)

all i can say is, i've given you all the code you need.
you can enable debug logging and check your logfile if things don't work out as planned.

If having trouble with the <onclick> this is what I do:
Set that folder up as a favorite, press 'c' on the folder and click add to favorites
2. Open up favorites.xml, located in W7 - C:\Users\****\AppData\Roaming\XBMC\userdata
3. You'll see a line like so, in this example I favorited a folder called "flags":
Quote:<favourite name="flags">ActivateWindow(10024,D:\flags\)</favourite>4. Now take that bolded part and use that as your onclick like so:
<onclick>XBMC.ActivateWindow(10024,D:\flags\)</onclick>
Well looked like you got it, lol

ya i got it but its funny you should mention having issues with the onclick because i for the life of me dont know how i fixed this (except maybe ronie's comma is different than mine)

Don't see this anywhere in the documentation but does Transparency! support RSS news feeds in various windows? That would be a nice feature.

nope, it's not available in T!
would be difficult to find a place for the RSS feed that would work in all views.
