Setting a path when creating a new File in Java

I currently have the following code:

ImageIO.write(imageBlue, "PNG", new File("c://imageBlue.PNG"));

But I want the program to write it to my Desktop, no matter when Directory I am currently in.

Only this configuration needed,

ImageIO.write(imageBlue, "PNG", new File(System.getProperty("user.home") + "/Desktop");

You can use System.getProperty(String) to get the user.home System Property. Then, use that to get the Desktop. Finally, use that to get your desired output File. Something like,

String homeFldr = System.getProperty("user.home");
File desktop = new File(homeFldr, "Desktop");
ImageIO.write(imageBlue, "PNG", new File(desktop, "imageBlue.PNG"));

You should change the path of to following :

C:\Users\{your-user-id}\Desktop
