Not for all of them i am able to receive the high resolution icons - like "Recent Items" for some reason only provides 32x32 and 16x16 no matter what size i am asking for. Others such as Documents, My Computer or 3D Objects do provide all resolutions available. For example here's the screenshot of all the available icons for 3D Objects

Didn't you answer your question already? If `FileSystemView.getRoots()` returns Desktop in Windows shell namespace. Otherwise, I don't know a way to get a reference to a *virtual* folder in Windows shell namespace which doesn't reference a file system object.

Alex's example uses "3D Objects" folder which is one of the known folders and has its own icon instead of the standard folder icon.

It's possible that I don't understand the question clearly.

Alex's fix affects WindowsPlacesBar on the left of JFileChooser in Windows LaF, the icons there look crispier in High DPI environment.
