How do I fix 'root folder'?

I've been through the book on this, but can't locate my answer.

I defined a site, told it where the local root folder was and the images
folder. Normally there's no problem, but occasionally it seems to totally
not understand that I want all images named: filename.jpg, NOT
/filename.jpg.

Consequently, everytime I make a new page or edit one and include a graphic,
it puts the "/" in front of the filename.

Is there a setting someplace that will force this back to the root without
the slash???

As ever, thanks Murray for the quick answer...

******To change this********
select an existing image or link on the page.
in the Property inspector, click the folder icon, to open the "Browse to
File" dialog box. On the lower part of that dialog box is pulldown, to
choose "Site Root Relative" or "Relative to Document"
Put it on "Relative to Document"
Finish picking the correct file, and click okay.

That setting will now stay that way until it's changed.
When you use the point to file tool, it will use that method of linking.

If you want to quickly change links to a different linking method- install
the Relativity Extension.
