      • getFolderPath

        public static String getFolderPath​(WinDef.HWND hwnd,
                                           int nFolder,
                                           WinDef.DWORD dwFlags)
        Get a special folder path.
        Parameters:

      • getFolderPath

        public static String getFolderPath​(int nFolder)
        Get a special folder path.
        Parameters:

        Returns:

      • getKnownFolderPath

        public static String getKnownFolderPath​(Guid.GUID guid)
                                         throws Win32Exception
        Retrieves the full path of a known folder identified by the folder's KNOWNFOLDERID. This function replaces getFolderPath(com.sun.jna.platform.win32.WinDef.HWND, int, com.sun.jna.platform.win32.WinDef.DWORD). That older function is now simply a wrapper for getKnownFolderPath
        Parameters:
        guid - the KNOWNFOLDERS GUID as defined in KnownFolders
        Returns:
        the path of the known folder. The returned path does not include a trailing backslash. For example, "C:\Users" is returned rather than "C:\Users\".
        Throws:
        Win32Exception - if the guid references a KNOWNFOLDERID which does not have a path (such as a folder marked as KF_CATEGORY_VIRTUAL) or that the KNOWNFOLDERID is not present on the system. Not all KNOWNFOLDERID values are present on all systems.
      • getSpecialFolderPath

        public static final String getSpecialFolderPath​(int csidl,
                                                        boolean create)
        Retrieves the path of a special folder, identified by its CSIDL.
        Parameters:
        csidl - A CSIDL that identifies the folder of interest. If a virtual folder is specified, this function will fail.
        create - Indicates whether the folder should be created if it does not already exist. If this value is nonzero, the folder is created. If this value is zero, the folder is not created.
        Returns:
        The drive and path of the specified folder
