JFileChooser change default directory in Windows

java, jfilechooser, windows

Solution

You can use the API method setCurrentDirectory when initializing your JFileChooser objects:

public void setCurrentDirectory(File dir)

Sample usage might be like:

yourFileChooser.setCurrentDirectory(new File  
(System.getProperty("user.home") + System.getProperty("file.separator")+ "Music"));

Problem

I want to change the default directory of my JFileChooser to "My Music" on Windows. This directory is `C:\Users\Fre\Music` on my account because my username is `Fre` The default is set on `C:\Users\Fre\Documents` (depends on OS i think). How can I change this?
