Hello and welcome to JavaRanch!

Please TellTheDetails

What "folder options" do you mean? Do you mean you'd like to display a JFileChooser when a menu item has been selected? If so, what have you tried? What isn't working, or what specifically don't you understand? And have you studied the Sun/Oracle tutorials?

Best of luck and again, welcome!

My recommendation to you is to put the NetBeans-generated code to the side for a bit, and to first learn to do a bit of Swing coding by hand. It's not hard to do, and once you understand it, if you want to go back to using code-generation, you'll have a far greater understanding on what you're doing. The tutorials can show you how: Using Swing Components

i have learned how to add JFilechooser through the NetBean and you are right i should get myself used to at the manual coding part..
thanks for suggestion and link.
