PathSkipRoot

LPTSTR PathSkipRoot(
    LPCTSTR pszPath
    );

Parses a path, ignoring the drive letter or UNC server/share path parts.

• Returns the address of the beginning of the subpath that follows the root (drive letter or UNC server/share).

pszPath

Address of the path to parse.

Example:

#include <windows.h>
#include <iostream.h>
#include "Shlwapi.h"

void main( void )
{

    // Path to convert.
	char buffer_1[] = "C:\\path1\\path2";
	char *lpStr1;
	lpStr1 = buffer_1;

    cout << "The path before is : " << lpStr1 << endl;
	cout << "The path after is :  " << PathSkipRoot(lpStr1) << endl;
}
OUTPUT:
==================
The path before is : C:\path1\path2
The path after is : path1\path2
