Yes, this is quite fun and simple.

Just create your flash animation and publish it into a regular html file, like you were going to put it on the web, and save it to your computer. Then right click on your desktop, then click properties. Then click the 'web' tab. Here make sure active desktop is enabled. Then select new, and browse for your html file.

Click OK and you will have your flash site html on your desktop. It is quite cool.

By the way, how did you make buttons that would link to certain folders in your computer? That sounds cool.
