Will you always want to know "show me the relative path from the My Pictures
folder"...?

Hi,
You need to first find the postion of the character which is constant for
you, like the folder name Car.....

then you can extract the substring from the main string starting from that
position to the end of the string......e.g:-

string str = "C:\\My Documents\\My Pictures\\Car\\Sports\\mama.fla";
Response.Write(str.Remove(str.IndexOf("Car"), str.Length));

Rgds,
Bhaskar
