New to Java

Hi
In the code below I am getting "The directory is not writable" mesasge.But this directory is writable.I can very much create a file/folder/shortcut in this directory.

File f = new File("C://Documents and Settings/vgosa/Application Data/Microsoft/Internet Explorer//Quick Launch");
       if(f.canWrite())
           System.out.println("The directory is writable");
       else
           System.out.println("The directory is not writable");

Can anyone please help me with this.?.

Thanks
