Nope.

As mentioned, I can redirect output to "\\?\Volume{guid}\bla.txt"*. But I 
can't, using the same filespec, do a "del" on that file afterwards.

* and yes, the file is created in the root of the drive, as a "dir \bla.txt" 
shows.

So yes, an "\\?\Volume{guid}\" specifies the drive itself.

... but not always.  And *thats* the problem.

Any idea why and/or how to fix that ?
