Question mark in path: \\?\unix\

[Mophus]

I'm using a Windows program which displays the current working directory in its title bar. I've noticed that the displayed path always begins with a question mark (?).

Example: \\?\unix\home\mophus

What does this mean? It seems as if Wine were unable to identify the hostname.

I'm asking because the software normally (in Windows) remembers the last working directory. So if I open the directory selector (File > Change directory...) it normally starts with the current directory being pre-selected in the directory tree. But in Wine it always start in the root directory (/). I thought there might be a connection between this behaviour and the question mark...
