How to obtain windows system path..

Hello Everyone,
is there any way I can obtain the windows system folder path (i.e. C:/Windows or D:/Windows or else) from java? similar like System.getProperty("user.dir") but instead, it returns the system windows folder path..?
Thanks.

You can try to call System.getenv("windir") or System.getenv("SystemRoot") if you are using JDK 1.5

  • How to get window system user?

    Hi,
    How to get window system user use PL/SQL(form develope6i)?

    If you don't use Oracle database then you will have to do one of two things:
    (1) Now I'm back in the office I can check D2KWUTIL. The version I have comes with Forms6.0, so it is somewhat out of date, but it has a method called WIN_API_ENVIRONMENT.Get_Windows_Username - which works for NT/95 only, although I'm sure a later version will support more recent OS.
    (2) If that's no good then you'll have to use whatever facilities your database offers: I only know Oracle.
    I also repeat my suggestion that you try the Forms forum for additional help. This is the Database forum and so is focused on serverside Oracle PL/SQL. For your needs the Developer Suite forums are better.
    Cheers, APC

  • How can I locate the 'Windows system path' with in java?

    Hi,
    Is it possible to locate the System path (usu x:\winnt\system32\) of the OS at run time? What classes and methods should I use?
    Thanks in advance

    You can't from pure java, that's a windows specific value that's stored in the registry. Sorry, you can get anything that's in the System.getPropeties() there are many usefule values in there like the user's home dir and the java runtime version and java home, but not the C:\winnt directory as a value. Sorry.

  • How to manipulate Windows System Variables using Java

    Hi There,
    I want to manipulate Windows System variables (e.g. PATH, CLASSPATH) using Java program. Could anyone please let me know how it can be done in Java.
    Regards,
    Rakesh Nagar

    This is not just a Java question. It has never been possible in any Windows program to permanently change the value of an environment variable. You can only change it temporarily, and when the process that changed it ends, so does the change to the environment variable. This has been true since environment variables were added to DOS in about 1983.

  • How to obtain windows 8 on a Pavilion 15" and 17" laptops

    Hi there,
    The stickers are long since gone from my laptops, having owned them for 6 months now.
    Early on in ownership I installed windows 7, however windows 7 is not supported and I've had a huge amount of trouble getting support so am trying to get back to windows 8 now :-)
    How do I go about getting windows 8 back on my laptop when it came with win8 as the factory installation? Rights to one Win8 installation per unit is included in the price of each laptop  correct?
    Thanks and kind regards,

    I have read your post on how you are looking to load Windows 8 on your notebook computers, and I would be happy to assist you in this matter!
    First things first, you'll need to obtain recovery discs in order to install Windows 8 for each computer. This can be acquired by following the steps in this document on Obtaining HP Recovery Discs or an HP USB Recovery Drive. Once you have the necessary discs, please follow this resource on Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8). This should help install Windows 8 on both computers.

  • How to obtain Windows 7 or 8 for Macbook Retina (needs to be ISO format)

    Hi all!
    I am trying to buy a copy of Windows (either 7 or 8) for my Macbook Retina so that I can Boot Camp it. However because there is no optical drive for the retina model, the OS needs to be in ISO format. Can anyone provide any suggestions as to how I can obtain a legit download of Windows? The Microsoft website appears to only provide upgrade options. Any assistance is much appreciated.

    My Digital Life has ISOs of Win 7. You BUY a copy of Windows 7 with license key then download the same version, Home/Pro/Ultimate, from the My digital life site and use the license key that came with your Retail copy.
    Or find someone that has a PC and create your own ISO from the DVD disc.

  • How to obtain Windows 2000 Server/NT Logon credentials

    Has anyone manage to obtain the logon username & password to Win2k server/NT before using iDS & LDAP SDK?
    Or does anyone knows how to do it & had done it before?
    Kindly, share your experiences?
    Many thanks!

    Unclear as to your meaning.
    If you want to:
    Q) Get the password of an NT user so that you can use it to authenticate to directory
    A) No, NT provides no facility to perform such an operation - would you really be happy about it if it did?
    Q) Discover the logon and password that the current process is using so that you can use it to authenticate to directory using them
    A) Yes, you can retrieve the user id, I forget how but it is a standard win32 system call, something like GetCurrent[Logon | User | Something]. You cannot get the password.
    In general, being able to get passwords from OS's is bad. Consequently they usually do not allow it. Imagine how much easier life would be for hackers etc.
    There are reportedly software utilities / code floating around which will do these things for both *nix and NT, but I can't help you there.  It seems to me that even if they worked, including them in your software application  would cause you more headaches than you would care for.        Just like any other undocumented/unsupported "feature" would.
    If that does not cover what you intended - please clarify.

  • How to get the absolute path of logicalhost server domain on Windows?

    My logicalhost server domain behaves strangely. I am reading a file from collaboration definiton, that is located in the logicalhost/is/domains/domain1/config folder. I thought, that this folder is used as an application root folder so I can read files like ./file from there. And it worked.
    But then I've installed the domain as a Windows service, restarted the PC. When the domain1 gets started, I get exceptions saying that the file can't be found. Then I restart the domain (in domainmgr.bat) and it works again.
    I am pretty sure that using the absolute path will solve this issue, so my first question is: How to get the absolute path of logicalhost server domain on Windows?
    And my second question is: Why does this happen?

    The default folder for a Windows Service is the system32 folder contrary to the instance root folder when starting it as a normal process.
    That's the why, haven't tried the how, but you should be able to get the value by calling System.getProperty("com.sun.aas.instanceRoot").
    Hope this helps

  • How to obtain a URL from a path in a class' method?

    Hey everyone!
    Newbie here needing to convert the following method from a jsp page into a class for one of our applications.
    I have a method in a class which takes a path (as a string). However, I can't seem to figure out how to have java output the corresponding URL in a jsp page.
    For example, in the jsp file, I would provide something like:
    "./../../../../../../temp/gfx/" as the path.
    The "getRealPath()" method converts it nicely to a URL. However, I can't seem to figure out how to use this method within a class file. Is there a way to obtain the URL from a class' method? If so, how?
    --- old code below ---
    ServletContext application = getServletConfig().getServletContext();
    String msg = "";//#Either the IMG tag or message to be returned.
    File dir = new File(application.getRealPath(IMAGE_DIRECTORY));

    Thanks for that hint!
    Also, we're using Websphere... is there an easy way to take a partial url passed as a string and find the full path for it?
    Example:
    /images/today/
    and have it automatically converted to:
    F:/Inetpub/wwwroot/images/today/
    automatically in java?
    Or is this something where both a full system path and URL need to be passed?
    Thanks!

    Here is a quick summary on why this works...
    The Problem:
    The issue relies with the method and logic that MDT’s scripts use to query and validate that the proper disks, partitions and storage space reside before starting the installation of Windows.
    Essentially what you have configured in the Task Sequence and the UNATTEND.xml is analyzed by the MDT scripts then a validation is completed against the hardware in which you wish to install Windows
    on and if there are any errors you will be prompted with MDT Error or Warning dialogs.
    The problem is that the MDT scripts use WMI to query the hard disk, partition and free space requirements for Windows, but in the case of using GPT disk, the 2nd partition (MSR) that you have to create
    is hidden. The class that WMI uses for its query can’t see the MSR partition so instead of 3 partitions, it returns 2 in the query results; hence why DISK 0 PARTITION 3 doesn’t work as mentioned earlier when configured in the MDT Task Sequence.
    Although the above still confuses me as to why it works with DISK 0 PARTITION 2 since the WMI query results return PARTITION IDs 0 and 1 when it should return 1 and 2…
    The Windows Pre-Installation Environment however does see all 3 partitions correctly and we tried configuring in our Task Sequence to install Windows to DISK 0 and PARTITION 2 and in the UNATTEND.xml
    file to install Windows to DISK 0 and PARTITION 3 but due to timing issues of the way Windows installs with MDT, did this not work for us.
