   The "$DATA" part is the third field of the ":" separated non UNC file system   
   object name syntax, which is meant for NTFS file/directory attribute names.   
   The attribute names are predefined names. They can't be user defined.   
      
   $DATA is the attribute name which specifies the file/directory data. It's   
   the only attribute which is applicable on all file system types.   
      
   There are other NTFS attributes such as $ATTRIBUTE_LIST, $BITMAP, and   
   $INDEX_ALLOCATION, but none of them are accessible for common file usage.
