Posted October 18, 200717 yr I am developing a Java application on a Vista Home Premium system. Suddenly, whenever I click on a browse button which creates a File Open Dialog (JFileChooser), I get an exception "Could not get shell folder ID list". This has always worked before and I have changed nothing that could cause this problem. The program runs correctly using the same jar file on my laptop, also running Vista Home Premium. I am convinced this is a Vista-related problem. Another weird thing is that when I start Windows Explorer, it starts up in C:\Windows\System32 which it never did before. Could these two things be related? Could you please explain what the original exception message means? (I have re-installed the Java runtime environment to eliminate that as a problem). Thanks for any light you can shed - I am at my wit's end here!
