How I can do this or is it possible ?
I want to do this only for usb flash drives .
If it is not possible please give me another approach to do this correctly ?

You can use the volume GUID like this:

\\?\Volume{2a0b16cf-f76a-11df-9310-806e6f6e6963}\path\file.ext

Note that only the Unicode file functions will accept this sort of path, and the syntax has to be strictly correct. For example, you can't use forward slashes instead of backslashes.

I'm not sure how best to enumerate the volume GUIDs. One method is QueryDosDevice but I expect there are better ways.
