Is there a way to have a Document Library WebPart open to a specific folder?

I've been playing around for a few hours and I don't see a decent option.

Is this just a view of the document library put on a page? – Josey Feb 17 '14 at 19:00
    
I could be mistaken there is filter on a view that will show you everything under a folder (as far as I know views are folder agnostic) – Crash893 Feb 18 '14 at 2:06
    
any other thoughts? – Crash893 Feb 20 '14 at 4:57

Adding to jkandiko's answer (which worked for me),

If the URL of the page containing your document list web part is http://www.mySharePoint.com/SitePages/Home.aspx, append the text ?RootFolder=((Path to target folder)) to this URL.

The ?RootFolder=((...)) can be found by navigating to the target folder in the document library, then checking the resulting URL.

I've been able to get document list web parts to open to a specific folder by changing the URL. If you put RootFolder=PATH, the document library will open to that folder. The problem is, it does it for all libraries on the page. But maybe this will get you in the right direction:

RootFolder=/PATH/TO/Shared Documents/FOLDER NAME
