How to install a filter driver without restart?

Hello,

I am writing a filter driver for a USB device.
I have followed the DDK instructions and produced an INF that installs
the driver.
However, The installation takes effect only after I restart the machine.
Is there a way to install (and uninstall) a driver without the need for
restart?

The device for which the filter driver was written is installed and
running at the time I execute the filter driver installation.
This means that the device stack has to be restarted somehow.

How can this be done?

Thanks,
Nir

You need to disable and re-enable the device. The DEVCON sample in the
DDK will show you how to do this.

Thanks Walter,
I have your book right next to my keyboard. It helped me clarify several
points that the DDK left un-answered. Thanks to you I have a stable
and reasonably solid driver.
