The one reason I gave me as answer was that on a TS-environment,
everyone has it's own DOSDevices-namespace.
and I think there are even more parts of the object manager namespace
duplicated and separated. But will this need several csrss?
Neiter that nor win32k. It needs a hack to the win32 API
OR
Start csrss with another alternative \DosDevices OM-Path as start
parameter to make the whole win32 api behave different. GetDriveLetters etc.
