So I was messing around with file saving in java and came up with:

import java.io.*;

public class TestList {
	public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException{
		File f;
		f=new File("C:\\testfilemake.doc");
		//if(!f.exists()){
			f.createNewFile();
			BufferedWriter output = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(f));
			output.write("TROLOLOLOL");
	        output.close();
		}
	}
//}

And I get this error:

Exception in thread "main" java.io.IOException: Access is denied
	at java.io.WinNTFileSystem.createFileExclusively(Native Method)
	at java.io.File.createNewFile(Unknown Source)
	at TestList.main(TestList.java:9)

I'm guessing im not using this correctly:

		f=new File("C:\\testfilemake.doc");

How would I save this to desktop?


Btw using:

		f=new File("testfilemake.doc");

Just saves it to a random folder lol

Run it as administrator.

I thought I was administrator on my own computer, and I want this to work on others peoples computer

Then don't save to the C drive.

If you want to save to Desktop, you would use C:/Documents and Settings/User/Desktop/file or C:/Users/User/Desktop/file depending on your version.
Also, the second snippet is suppose to save to the same place the class is run from (unless it's saving to a temp folder since it no write access).

I'm not sure if you've already sorted this, but another way around this is to make the file then set that as the save path. Unless you want to create a new file every time…
