Inf only driver which adds registry keys

NTDEV
1

Hello All,

Can we create a inf only driver which creates the registry key as below Registry \HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\USBHUB\hubg\DisableOnSoftRemove and sets the value for it.

And this registry key must be created for each instance of the USBHUB getting created.

Reason why i need this is : There is a work around to fix a hardware issue which is getting fixed my MS driver.

regards,
Jagadish

This KB article indicates that this flag is global, so you should presumably
only need to create it once:

Or do you need to also set the value under “usbflags\vvvvpppprrrr” for some
reason?

The Services key is for the driver, not for each device. There is only
one, no matter how many instances of USBHUB there are.

Why would you use an INF? You can use a trivial regedit script or
“reg.exe” command line to set this.
