populate a drobdownbox with drive letters? 1

[russland]

hey,

how could i read the available drive letters of a user's system? does java.io.file offer such a method? i wasn't able to find one. (this applet will run on windows pc only. so i don't have to worry about unix or mac users)

thanks for any help.

try{

File.listRoots();
}catch(){}

yes, looping through the returned list provides me with what i need. cheers.

File.listRoots(); will return just the root of the directory tree in Unix/Linux so if you want to list mounted drives Unix/Linux you'll have to jump through more hoops. Just a comment for if the code is to be cross platform.
