how to do a Windows Explorer
Hi,

Anybody knows which elements I have to consider to make an application like Windows Explorer to display the directories and files in a PC by clicking a directory and showing the file with its name, size and date? Or anybody knows about an exemple for it?

Thank you

Francisco

PS My english is not very good, sorry.

A good command over java GUI and java.io.File class along with java.lang.Process and Runtime should be enough to get started ..
