Description

VFS unable to support special windows folders (Network, recent, computer, libraries, etc).

File[] cbFolders = (File[])sun.awt.shell.ShellFolder.get("fileChooserComboBoxFolders");

and then converting them to FileObjects like so:

for(File f: cbFolders)

{ fileObjArray.add(mgr.resolveFile(f.getPath())); }

The path of these files are like "::

{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}

"

So I tried to debug it and fixed this bug: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/VFS-338

and then removed:

if (startPos < 2)

{ throw new FileSystemException("vfs.provider.local/not-absolute-file-name.error", uri); }

return "//" + extractUNCPrefix(uri, name);

But now complains about the file doesn't exist. I'll keep trying...
