Question

How to extract the path “c:/documents and settings/user” using Java… Is there any method??

Answer 1

System.getProperty("user.home")

should be enough. See here for an example.

public class UserHomeExample 
{
    public static void main(String[] args)
    {

        System.out.println("User Home Path: "+ System.getProperty("user.home"));
    }
}

Gives:

C:\convert\rajesh\completed>javac UserHomeExample.java

C:\convert\rajesh\completed>java UserHomeExample
User Home Path: C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator
