There is such a thing as NTFS tunneling, if that's what you mean. Not sure what you have in mind if you mean otherwise.

- asveikau 10y agoNTFS tunneling is a hilarious feature. To those who are not well versed in this: This was a hack for 2 things that exist in the universe: 1. Apps that save their documents by "delete document, re-create document by the same name". 2. The fact that said apps (especially when you consider that they might be written for Win3.1 or DOS) could be accessing the documents by 8.3 names (eg. MICROS~1.TXT) What ntfs.sys will do is: for some period of time after deleting a file, remember the "long filename" of a corresponding short name, and re-hydrate it when you re-create. So when you delete MICROS~1.TXT and create a new MICROS~1.TXT, ntfs.sys will remember that this file is also called "Microsoft.txt" and re-create that name.
