Hello,

is it possible to change the current directory of the application? My java
program prints to PDF-writer. PDF-Writer asks the path for the pdf-file and
changes the current directory to that location. After printing, my java
program's current directory has also been changed to that given path and
that couses problems. How can I change it back? Current directory is
different than "User.dir", getAbsolutePath() and getCanonicalPath. I think
it is some how kept in the memory.

I have tried to use Dos commands, but they did not work. Should I try to use
win32 api functions from java? Is that the only way? Is it even possible?
Can I use them directly from the java code without creating a c-code where
to call win32 api?

regards terhi
