kernel32.dll's CreateFile() and other apis normally perform translation which includes special handling for dos device names including AUX. You can bypass this by prefixing the absolute file name with the string "\\?\" and this will allow you to create a file named AUX. It also allows you to reference file names with absolute paths greater than 255 characters.
