Depends on what you know is going to be consistent...

e.g.

if each path begins with "c:\winnt\profiles\administrator\desktop" and you
want to chop off that bit, all you have to do is

sPath = sPath.substring(39);

so that it takes a string from the 39th character to the end.

however, if the fisrt part is always different and you only want whatever
bit follows "\images" then you would need to find that and take the string
from there

sPath = sPath.substring(sPath.indexOf("\images"));
