I once found a nifty little library that used JNI to allow java applications on Windows to get the locations of various “special” directories on windows. I can’t for the life of me find it again…
In particular, I need to get the location of the “All Users” (shared) “Application Data” directory.
So, anyone have a bullet proof way in Java to locate the “All Users” “Application Data” folder?
It needs to be bullet proof.
You could use the following property in the environment:
ALLUSERSPROFILE=C:\Documents and Settings\All Users
Edit: This no longer works as of Windows Vista and newer.
