Cannot Access Folder in java

Question

I need my program to be able to read the files inside a folder, however when I try to compile I'm getting the following error: java.io.FileNotFoundException: (Access is denied)

Here is a section of my code:

 String filename="FileCount"; //Replace this with file containing names of files to be processed
 File file=new File(filename);

Here's a simple example. I hope this is what you're looking for

import java.io.File;

public class Files {
    public void listFiles(){
        String folderPath = "C:/Users/*****/Desktop"; // or as required
        File file = new File(folderPath);
        File[] files = file.listFiles();
        for (File fileName : files) {
            System.out.println(fileName); //Do what you need here... I'm just printing to console.
        }
    }

}
