folderBrowserDialog.SelectedPath

Question

When I select Document folder of other users by folderBrowserDialog.SelectedPath it retrives the path like "C:\Documents and Settings\Ahammed**My Documents**"

but it should not be like that , it should retrive as "C:\Documents and Settings\Ahammed\Ahammed's Documents".. Guys anyone can help me on this ...to retrive the correct path through folderBrowserDialog.

Requirement is to extract the correct name of the folder "Ahammed's Documents" through folderBrowserDialog() ...

Answer 1

I think that actual path is: C:\Documents and Settings\Ahammed\My Documents.

C:\Documents and Settings\Ahammed\Ahammed's Documents seems to be improvisation by OS to show nice labels.

Once you get path in User's home folder you can use this to format it according to your needs:

 if (fbd.ShowDialog() == DialogResult.OK)
 {
    string path=fbd.SelectedPath;
    path = path.Substring(0, path.LastIndexOf("\\"));
    path += @"\" + path.Substring(path.LastIndexOf("\\")) + "'s Documents";
 }
