Last night I delivered a session entitled “Writing Software Device Drivers on Windows” in the Windows Platform Developers user group. I gave a “crash course” of 1.5 hours on writing a driver that allows me to execute code within the kernel to do things that are not possible from user mode.

Thank you all for coming and for the great feedback!

I’ve attached the presentation and the demo code, including the driver code, the installer and the client application. Note that to compile successfully with Visual Studio, the make command line in Project->Properties must point to the location of ddkbuild.cmd (from OSR), that is also included in the attached ZIP.
