<h1>java.io.IOException: Could not get shell folder ID list</h1> <div class="level1"> <p> If you're getting this message, you probably have recently replaced a hard drive or removed a flash drive that you had previously configured for some personal settings or any number of other things than can confuse Windows and/or the Java VM that ECMLink works under. </p> <p> To confirm, pull up regedit and go here: </p> <pre class="code">HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders </pre><p> </p> <p> You should see a bunch of items that start with "%USERPROFILE%". If you see items that start with something like "D:\" or "C:\", that may be the source of your problem. </p> <p> To correct this, you can either delete all those hard coded values or change them to more appropriate values if you want. </p> <p> You may want to first right click on the "User Shell Folders" item and select "Export" to save a copy of the current values before you go messing with them. </p> </div>
