removing the first item of an array of strings?

uuh I wrote this, but it looks really ugly and dumd:D any better ways?:D:D:D

VB Code:

Dim args As New ArrayList
            args.AddRange(Environment.GetCommandLineArgs())
 
            If args.Count > 1 Then
                args.RemoveAt(0)
 
                Dim filenames() As String
                filenames = CType(args.ToArray(GetType(String)), String())
....

I just want to remove the first element of args(). That works but looks akward... just wondering if there is a better way

The other dumb way is copy the array to another array starting from the second element not the first and then dispose the first array obj . :p

VB Code:

Dim arry2 As ArrayList = arry1.GetRange(1, arry1.Count - 1)
        For Each s As String In arry2
            MsgBox(s)
 Next
