        //Populate folders and files when a folder is selected
        this.Cursor = Cursors.WaitCursor;

        //get current selected drive or folder
        TreeNode nodeCurrent = e.Node;
        string newPath = getFullPath(nodeCurrent.FullPath);

add the following line in the code and it will remove recurring "\" in the path

newPath = newPath.Replace("\\\\", "\\");

It looks to me like the getFullPath method in that code will do exactly what you want. It strips the MyComputer\ string and returns the rest. Write:

string newPath = getFullPath(nodeCurrent.FullPath);
