There are several kinds of notation. This is a URI notation. E.g. for adressing and opening files.

If you need C:\ you can get this by

alert("get path of activeDoc: "+(activeDocument.path.fsName));

you can read the properties of document or activeDocument in ESTK

File properties you can get by switching to Core JavaScript Classes in ESTK

In this case for a file which is already saved and opened in PS

alert("get path of activeDoc: "+activeDocument.path);

suppose a file is in the c:/folder1
then your script gives a result
/c/folder1

which is slightly different... why is it?

This might be more like you are after...

try{

alert("get path of activeDoc: "+activeDocument.path.fsName);

}catch(e){alert("This file has not yet been saved!");}
