Re: Canonical names for kernel objects

Thanks for the replies.

But I am not sure how CreateFile can help me...

What I need is a way to monitor access to a given file from kernel.
In order to do that, I need to have a way to know that "\??\C:\x.txt"
is
actually the same as "\Device\Harddisk0\Partition1\x.txt" so that when
different applications passing different variations of a same object,
my
code can unambiguously identify it.

So far, looks like the only way to convert a path with symbolic links
is
to parse each "node" and expand the symbolic link...
