Anybody can read MSDN.  It's free.

\\.\ is the prefix of all NT path names, and we already support some of them. 
Files, named pipes, device drivers, mailslots and other things all start with
this NT prefix, so it is not the problem.  The problem is the "NSLOCK" bit after
that.

It looks like your Stock Analysys program requires some kind of device driver (a
Windows kernel module) to run.  Unfortunately, since Wine does not implement the
Windows kernel itself, device drivers don't work in Wine.

Maybe the "NSLOCK" driver is meant to prevent people reverse engineering that
software?  I can't really imagine why stock analysis software needs a device driver.

Please investigate further to see if this is the case.  I'm happy to try running
your software if you send me a mail with details of how to do so.
