Applet accessing local files under Vista

807606May 14 2007 — edited May 24 2007
I have a signed applet that accesses files on the client machine. This applet is not able to open files when running under Windows Vista (I get an "Access denied" message). I found that in C++ there is a function called GetTempPath, which returns a path to a directory where and OCX control can access files. So here is my question:

Is there some Java function that will return the path to the directory mentioned above?

Thanks for your help.
