Kedar,
Naming is one of the more complicated issues for file system filter drivers.
The name of a particular file can be its long file name, short file name,
file ID, or object id. In NTFS a file may have multiple names (via hard
links) and may be opened using any link, long name, short name, file ID, or
object id. So, the question becomes: which one is THE name?
Are you asking about how you associate two files in an application with one
another? If so, I would note that there’s nothing at the file systems level
that does this - it is a function of the application. You COULD track the
files on a per-process basis, and then, presumably, files being accessed by
the same process are most likely to be related in some fashion (although,
imagine someone using Word to open multiple documents.) But there is
nothing at the file systems level that is going to provide this type of
functionality to you.

Hai All,
Does any of you are using the FDDK of OSR.
If yes? Did it help you a lot and what are your opinions on that?
when I attemptd to write a file system filter driver I have a probelm of
temproary files created by application(like MS-Word),where I wanted to know
the actual file name associated with it . Do you think it would help me.
Your Suggestions would help me a lot.
Regards,
Kedar.
