I am trying to add my APP to startup folder.
public class info {
public static String getautostart() {
return System.getProperty("java.io.tmpdir").replace("Local\\Temp\\", "Roaming\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Start Menu\\Programs\\Startup");
}
public static String gettemp() {
String property = "java.io.tmpdir";
String tempDir = System.getProperty(property);
return tempDir;
}
public static String getrunningdir() {
String runningdir = ProjectGav.class.getProtectionDomain().getCodeSource().getLocation().getPath();
return runningdir;
}
}
That's the class I store info methods
And the main class:
System.out.println(info.getautostart() + "\\asdf.jar");
System.out.println(info.getrunningdir());
Files.move(info.getrunningdir(), info.getautostart() + "\\asdf.jar");
This is the output from println:
C:\Users\JOHNDO~1\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup\asdf.jar
/C:/Users/John%20Doe/Downloads/project1.jar
The files.move
is not working.
OK lets say you want to move your jar from the current directory to the autostart folder. You already have these methods:
Now moving a file needs
Paths
and notString
so you need to create a Path instance for each of your Strings:If you want to point to a file (like your
.jar
file) within the paths you can do this:All together the
move
should look like this:
