Search entire computer for file name in Java

Question

Is there a way to search the entire computer for a String value representing the file name in Java? That would be without knowing the drive names on the computer.

Answer 1

If the gluing point is the way to get the disks on the computer, look at the File.listRoots () function for a list of drive letters.
