Could someone please read the enum constant names and classes carefully?

Package w32api-headers:

*FileNormalizedNameInfo* 24/0x18 is defined in minwinbase.h 
FILE_INFO_BY_HANDLE_CLASS for GetFileInformationByHandleEx whereas 
*FileNormalizedNameInformation* 44/0x2e is defined in winternl.h 
FILE_INFORMATION_CLASS for NtQueryInformationFile:

ditto in ddk/wdm.h!
