Also, these file's names always contain a ':' which makes them different as this is not allowed in regular windows file names. So files with a ':' could be treated as ADS if there is a file (or directory) with a matching "base name" (i.e. the part before the first ':') in the same directory. Of course this could break some existing shares which already have file names containing a ':' . But (as far as my experience goes) file names containing illegal characters get mangled to some cryptic string which makes them pretty useless anyway.
