Sysinternals tool: Winobj

Winobj.exe displays information on the NT Object Manager's name space.
The folder Global?? is the root for the Win32 namespace.
It consists mostly (or exclusively?) of symbolic links, for example C: might point to \Device\HarddiskVolume2.
Note: in the picture above, Kaspersky occupies its own name space.

There is also a Winobj program in Microsoft's SDK program, however, apparently, with some bugs.
