EVALUATION In BasicFileChooserUI.java ================== private void changeDirectory(File dir) { JFileChooser fc = getFileChooser(); // Traverse shortcuts on Windows if (dir != null && File.separatorChar == '\\' && dir.getPath().endsWith(".lnk")) { ... ================== ShellFolder.isLink() should be used instead of string comparison.
