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 ?
