How to access ShellFolder using a path

886787

Hi,

I would like to have the ShellFolder of a given path to browse its content.

	                FileSystemView systemView = FileSystemView.getFileSystemView();
		File homeDirectory = systemView.getHomeDirectory();
		File[] files = systemView.getFiles(homeDirectory,false);
		File home2=new File(homeDirectory.getAbsolutePath());
		File[] files1 = systemView.getFiles(home2, false);
		File[] files2 = home2.listFiles();
		File[] files3 = homeDirectory.listFiles();

When the home is obtained using FileSystemView, everything is fine (I obtain what I expect) in the list appear Computer, Network, ... but when I attempt to recreate the file using a path I obtain a subset of the previous result without Computer, Network, ... It just contains the list of "physical" files on the dirve, all "system" files are not present.

Is there a solution to obtain an instance of the right File object pointing to the homeDirectory or ComputerDirectory or Network Directory giving <u> a path </u> (I don't know which one, this may include clsid) ?

thanks

Here is a not perfect solution:

private File createFolderByPath(String path) {
		File file = getLocalRepository();
		String[] strings = path.split("/");
		for (int i = 0; i < strings.length; i++) {
			String string = strings<em>;<br />
			file = systemView.getChild(file, string);<br />
		}<br />
		return file;<br />
	}<br />
