Hi,

at the moment im trying to retrieve the standard program path ("C:\Programme" or "C:\Program Files" or ... it�s language dependent) from Windows 2000 with my Java program (JDK 1.5).
Does somebody have an idea?

I had a look at java.lang.System, here i get the user.dir (working directory) by

       String s = "";
       Properties P = java.lang.System.getProperties();
       s = P.getProperty("user.dir");
       return s;

but this is not exactly what i want.

thanks

Oliver
