You can't do this in Java. Java is platform independent; from a programmer's POV it doesn't know anything in particular about Windows, Mac, or Unix operating systems.

You can use JNI (Java Native Interface) to call C or C++ functions that can do this for you.

See http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/native1.1/index.html

I dont know whether you can change the properties or not. But you can retrieve those
information by using "Toolkit.getDesktopProperty()" method..

Look at the following site for more information.
