With no user intervention, so without including "C:\\" or "." as a string in the source, or without a TextIO.java class.
As that is the part I was responding to. You will
need to use that.
I think Ive got some stable code now. But I still want to know how to recursive scan the whole computer and not just a drive. At the moment I'm able to scan "C:\\" or "D:\\" and not both, does any one know how I can make that work?
See above. You can only "recursively" scan each drive/root one at a time. But you can loop over what the above mentioned method returns.
