hide the Flash folder from the menu tree

Open config.php with your text editor and go to line 175-200 (dont know the exact line number), or scroll down until you see:

$config['ResourceType'][] = Array( ...

The following lines will define some basic behaviour for Images, Files and Flash. The resources are just an associative array, so by changing the order in which they load, you will change the order in which they appear. I believe you want the following order:

$config['ResourceType'][] = Array(
      'name' => 'Images',
      'url' => $baseUrl . 'images',
      'directory' => $baseDir . 'images',
      'maxSize' => 0,
      'allowedExtensions' => 'bmp,gif,jpeg,jpg,png',
      'deniedExtensions' => '');

$config['ResourceType'][] = Array(
      'name' => 'Flash',
      'url' => $baseUrl . 'flash',
      'directory' => $baseDir . 'flash',
      'maxSize' => 0,
      'allowedExtensions' => 'swf,flv',
      'deniedExtensions' => '');

$config['ResourceType'][] = Array(
      'name' => 'Files',            // Single quotes not allowed
      'url' => $baseUrl . 'files',
      'directory' => $baseDir . 'files',
      'maxSize' => 0,
      'allowedExtensions' => '7z,aiff,asf,avi,bmp,csv,doc,fla,flv,gif,gz,gzip,jpeg,jpg,mid,mov,mp3,mp4,mpc,mpeg,mpg,ods,odt,pdf,png,ppt,pxd,qt,ram,rar,rm,rmi,rmvb,rtf,sdc,sitd,swf,sxc,sxw,tar,tgz,tif,tiff,txt,vsd,wav,wma,wmv,xls,zip',
      'deniedExtensions' => '');

Just comment out the Flash part and it will dissapear.

Cheers

The feature you're asking about (setting startup folder) will be available in CKFinder 1.3.
