FileSystemView getSystemDisplayName bug with Vista

[marc.davenne]

Hi

Here is my problem :

I want to display the list of folders which are on my disk. I use the FileSystemView class and particularly the getSystemDisplayName method which should return the folder name as it would appear in a browser for instance( ex : Mes images (in french) instead of the "pictures")

It works fine with all of the OS but Vista. I have "pictures" folder displayed instead of the "Mes images" folder. I know things changed from XP to Vista because of the virtual folders so could anyone tell me how (or if) I could get localized folders names in Java when I am running on Vista system

Thanks to everyone

Obvious question, but have you checked whether Vista actually has localised folder names?

[marc.davenne]

it does

All my folders are in French as they appear in the window explorer

or there is probably something I miss...

I know there is a thing with the shell32.dll and the registry...

[OrangeDog]

The folder names will be stored in a dll referenced by the desktop.ini in the relevant folder. I don't think there's an easy solution.
