Java Programming

I have a static method which returns an array of objects which are the "root" files of the system the program is running on.

I have had to recently change the method from using:

   File[] files=File.listRoots();

to

   File[] files = FileSystemView.getFileSystemView().getRoots

as on some computers running windows, the File.listRoots() method will bring up a dialog window asking for a disc to be inserted into the floppy drive... even if there is no floppy drive present.

The FileSystemView.getFileSystemView().getRoots() method returns the desktop directory under windows and thus stops this annoying request for a disc.

However, as seen here: http://www.geocities.com/budgetanime/fileSystemViewScreenShot.txt

The "My Network Neighbourhood" and "My Computer" 'folders' are representy by some sort of hash instead of their readable names. Does anyone know how to retrieve these readable names?

As seen in the code below, i am using File.getName() to obtain the name of the file(folder).

    public static LocalFile getRoot()
    {
        //File[] files=File.listRoots();
    	    	
    	File[] files = FileSystemView.getFileSystemView().getRoots();
        
        LocalFile lf=new LocalFile();
        
        
        lf.childrenNodes=new LocalFile[files.length];
        
        for (int i=0;i<files.length;i++)
        {
        	lf.childrenNodes=new LocalFile(files[i],true);

}

return lf;

}





This method is called via a constructor.


    
    private void init(File file,boolean isRootDrive)
    {
        if (isRootDrive) dir=true;
        else dir=file.isDirectory();

        id=new HashKey(Scan.getFileID(file.getName(),file.length()),16);
        
        name=file.getName();
        if (name.equals("")) name=file.getPath();

        this.file=file;
        File parent=file.getParentFile();
        if (parent!=null)
        {
            path=parent.getPath();
            
            if (path==null)
            {
                System.out.println("");
            }
        }
        else path="";
        System.out.println(path);
    }
