Here in the codes the file names are clearly given in the code and so those images are displayed... But now i want to display any image of the local drives according to user click on the JTree..
I am sure i need to change particularly this method...
private BufferedImage[] loadImages()
{
}

But i dont know what to change in this method... Please help

Waiting for your reply...
Thank you

I really need it for college project...

You need to start by adding a JTree object to your GUI that reflects the local file system. But people here are not just going to write the code for you. Tells us where you are stuck implementing that, and we'll help you get going again.

Moving to the AWT/Swing forum, as there seems to be nothing applet-specific about the question.
