I've been wanting to find a way to implement virtual folders from Finder for
 a while now, and believe I could do it, except: is there any way for
 a program to tell Finder to open a specific folder?  I need the program
 to exit to Finder and tell it to open a specific folder on the desktop,
 on top of any existing windows (just as if someone double-clicked on it).

Unfortunately, I can't for the life of me figure out how this could be done.
 Any suggestions?
