Question about loading driver

[Mike]

Hello,

I am creating a kernel mode driver (.sys file). This driver will only
be used for a program I create that uses hardware that will only be in
systems my company creates. My question is how to load the driver.

Does it have to be loaded at power up by placing it in the registery,
or can I dynamically load it when my program starts up?

Thanks.

Mike

On Windows XP drivers are installed as Service. So you can load (start) /
unload (stop) driver from commad line using "net start (stop)". You can
alsio write a program to do the same.

Hope it will help.
