JFileChooser Localization

I have followed the pointers about performing localization of a JFileChooser
and I have succeeded in getting all of the strings do represent the
currently selected Locale. However I cannot see how to customize the
mnemonic character on those strings that are used in labels or buttons.

Some of the posts have contained some resource names that are used by the
Swing UI for JFileChooser, but how do I find a complete list of the
resources names used by the Swing UI and their usage?

I dug through src.zip and found the PLAF files that customize JFileChooser,
so I found most of the strings, including in
particular the ones that customize the mnemonic characters on the buttons.
However src.zip does not include any files that are specific to Windows, and
it would appear that there must be an additional set of resources that
customize the "Desktop" button. The concept of "Desktop" is unique to
Windows so it is understandable that there might not be a resource defined
in BasicFileChooserUI.java. Is that string hard-coded for Windows?
