Devices like hard disks, serial ports, and parallel ports have an internal Windows NT device name and may optionally have an MS-DOS device name. These names are located in the Windows NT Object Manager's namespace. While Windows NT itself and kernel-mode drivers use NT device names, Win32 programs must use the MS-DOS device names. The MS-DOS device name is a symbolic link to the underlying NT device name. This article describes device names, symbolic links, and how Win32 programs can create and remove symbolic links.INFO: Understanding Device Names and Symbolic Links
