First create a desktop configuration file: gedit ~/.local/share/applications/folder-shortcut.desktop

Copy and paste the following content to launch nautilus (the file explorer) with the specified folder

[Desktop Entry]

Name=Home Folder

Comment=Open YOURFOLDER

Exec=nautilus YOURFOLDER

Icon=folder

Terminal=false

StartupNotify=true

Type=Application

OnlyShowIn=GNOME;Unity;

Categories=GNOME;GTK;Core;

X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Bugzilla=GNOME

X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Product=nautilus

X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Component=general

X-GNOME-Bugzilla-Version=3.0.0

X-Ubuntu-Gettext-Domain=nautilus

Actions=Window;

NoDisplay=true



[Desktop Action Window]

Name=Open YOURFOLDER

Exec=nautilus YOURFOLDER

OnlyShowIn=Unity;

Replace "YOURFOLDER" with the path to your folder

Now navigate to this file graphically from nautilus and drag it to your launcher
