I'm not sure if this is what you're looking for

String ComposeParentPath(String Drive, String Dir)
{
  return Drive + ":\\" + Dir + "\\";
}

   // Initially
   String ParentPath1 = ComposeParentPath("C", "Visinet");

   // User will change it
   String ParentPath2 = ComposeParentPath("D", "nms");

    // an example using the Parent Path
    if (CopyFile((ParentPath2 + "file1.bmp").c_str(),
                         (ParentPath2 + "file2.bmp").c_str(), false))
    {
        ShowMessage("Copied");
    }
    else
    {
        ShowMessage("CopyFile failed");
    }
