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 ..

Or you have to start work with swing/awt components, JTree and so on. But you have to do lots of work there.
