Go to this site http://www.prometric.com/testtakers/contactus/Email.htm and post your problem. You should receive a reply under 48 hours.
True that. But you know with the windows installer thingy, its sort of like a once-done deal. Meanwhile, im trying to give my users the option of choosing if and when they want the application to start when windows starts or not.

Welcome to Java and the JavaRanch

Aside HFJ, another book you might want to try Beginning Java 2 by Ivor Horton

Thanks for taking the time to reply Paul and Aditya.

I've found your last option very helpful Aditya. I guess I have to google up how to write a CMD file that does that. Alternatively, I would appreciate any helpful resource on that if have any. thanks alot!

@Paul: Thanks for that insight. I guess I would have to experiment on how it works with Windows versions prior to Windows 7 first then take it on from there.

Before you put anything in the HashMap, the value and the key objects are instantiated. So your book object is instantiated and its hashcode is generated. The HashMap then uses the hashcode to know in which of its own "hash bucket" to put the book object so that when the HashMap is now to retreive the value associated to it, it searches that "hash bucket" to get your book object and subsequently, values associated with it.
Usefully, you should have a way to persist your HashMap e.g. writing to a file...so that all objects can be read back when you need them and easy retrieval done instaead of building the HashMap all over and over anytime your application loads.

I hope I made sense here.

Hi everyone!
Im new in the house but I am happpy to be here. Recently took my SCJP exam with a 85% score, thanks to the book SCJP by Kathy Sierra and Bert Bates.
Now I am an Head First Addict and its so much easier!

SO I am writing a litttle desktop application and I want my users to be able o choose to let the application start when windows starts or otherwise. I have already have the check option menu item in my menu list but how do I go about the real action?

thanks!
