Thread: Specifying the file location

I'm practicing a few problems off my book and also read a section of my book talking about how to specify the file location. One way would be

PrintWriter outputFile=new PrintWriter("A:\\PriceList.txt");

My problem occurs when I try to specify a file location as show below

//Open an output file that appends data and does not delete it
		FileWriter append_data=new FileWriter("C:\\hello.txt",true);
		//Make a file that cvan print data into it
		PrintWriter outputfile=new PrintWriter(append_data);

Apparently, I believe this is not the right way to set my own path for the file...I'm just a novice in java so can anyone please explain to me how can I specify my file path.

One more question would be that suppose I want to specify the file location on Desktop. What the format for that?

Thanks in advance!

What error are you getting?

This is the error thatis being specified to me on eclipse

HTML Code:

Exception in thread "main" java.io.FileNotFoundException: C:\hello.txt (Access is denied)

You may not have permission to write to a file in your root directory and may want to change it to a different directory. I am, of course, presuming you are working on a Windows platform.
