Hi, All!
I want to assign volume name (such as \?\Volume{GUID})
to some device to use it then in SetVolumeMountPoint. Is
it possible?
Thanks…

Should be. You have to create symbolic link in Object Manager database
“GLOBAL??” directory. Try with Native API ZwCreateSymbolicLinkObject, where
ObjectName is Volume{GUID} and Target name is “some device”.

These names are auto-assigned in the kernel by MountMgr for all devices
which expose the MOUNTDEV_MOUNTED_DEVICE_GUID PnP interface and then properly
responds to IOCTL_MOUNTDEV_xxx. (the main of them is QUERY ID).
