  Edit Registry to Eliminate Driver Installation for Multiple Identical USB Devices         


Author: kevincw01
Date: May 20, 2008 15:29

My understanding is that when I plug a new USB device into windows xp,
the device's serial number is polled and(if found), a series of
registry entries are created. Later when I install the driver for
this new device, the driver is associated with the serial number of
the device. Please correct me if I'm wrong.

I have over 100 USB devices with unique serial numbers. Each time I
connect a new one, I'm required to re-install the driver. My intent
is to gather the serial numbers from the manufacturer and replicate
the registry entries created by a single driver install, for all the
other USB devices. Can this be done? Is there a better way?

Thanks in advance,
-Kevin

hey guys.

im new in developing device drivers.

my problem is that i want to write a driver which simulates
keyhits, like a virtual keyboard.

it must be a driver, it cant be the simple winapi, like sendkeys
oder sendmessage. there was a thread b4 with a similar name, but i
think this will be a bit different. ;) i hope so.

ive read and tried alot but nowhere in the inet is an exactly example
how to setup a keyhit, not even in the ddk src\input\kbdfilter or
i8042prt dir.

ive tried this.
