I'm using the secret hidden ShellFolder class in Java. It has a nice method called getFolderColumns which gives you access to some nice data about the file.
Problem is that a lot of files crash it with :
Exception in thread "pool-1-thread-2445" java.lang.InternalError: Unable to bind C:\Windows\System32\zonedon.reg to parent at sun.awt.shell.Win32ShellFolder2$4.call(Win32ShellFolder2.java:400) at sun.awt.shell.Win32ShellFolder2$4.call(Win32ShellFolder2.java:385) at sun.awt.shell.Win32ShellFolderManager2$ComInvoker.invoke(Win32ShellFolderManager2.java:523) at sun.awt.shell.ShellFolder.invoke(ShellFolder.java:399) at sun.awt.shell.ShellFolder.invoke(ShellFolder.java:385) at sun.awt.shell.Win32ShellFolder2.getIShellFolder(Win32ShellFolder2.java:384) at sun.awt.shell.Win32ShellFolder2$17.call(Win32ShellFolder2.java:1068) at sun.awt.shell.Win32ShellFolder2$17.call(Win32ShellFolder2.java:1066) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask$Sync.innerRun(FutureTask.java:303) at java.util.concurrent.FutureTask.run(FutureTask.java:138) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.runTask(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:886) at java.util.concurrent.ThreadPoolExecutor$Worker.run(ThreadPoolExecutor.java:908) at sun.awt.shell.Win32ShellFolderManager2$ComInvoker$3.run(Win32ShellFolderManager2.java:492) at java.lang.Thread.run(Thread.java:619)
You also can't catch this and resume as it throws a UncaughtException. I noticed that JFileChooser also uses this method but I can't seem to find its prevention/protection from these type of crashes.
