I could use some help with a problem I’ve been having:

I’ve started building a small app with Adobe AIR, using HTML and JScript (not Flex!). I need the app to be able to open folders that are located on another drive than C:. Till now, I just managed to open files or folders, but they are all on the same drive as File.applicationDirectory, File.userDirectory, etc.

How can I change the path to another drive than C:\? 🙂

Thanks in advance for your time (and sorry for the mistakes, I’m from Germany and it’s like 4.30 in the morning :D)

Daniel

edit/concretion

Basically, I just need to change the “air.File.desktopDirectory” line to another one that lets me open D:\ 🙂

    The problem is solved!

    function volume() {
         var test = new air.File("file:///d:/");
         test.openWithDefaultApplication();
    }
