what means \\.\pipe\

I checked with filemon, because my opera browser crashed with an error message and I saw following strange thing:

svchost.exe read/write \\.\Pipe\ROUTER SUCCESS
lsass.exe read/write \\.\Pipe\lsass SUCCESS

Offset 0 Length: 1528
Offset 0 Length: 208
Offset 0 Length: 48
When I double click on it I can´t get access to this lsass, Message: "Explorer could not open \\.\Pipe"

SO Opera crashed again and Monitor told this:

Opera.exe close \\.\Pipe\ntsvcs SUCCESS
Services.exe flush \\.\Pipe\ntsvcs SUCCESS

Anyone an idea?

 

Not sure, but this link might has some info:

thanks rickster, I could access the pipe rights, but the pipes still works in background no matter if I restrict them, remove or deny the rights..
