Completing IRP_MN_NOTIFY_CHANGE_DIRECTORY in XP

NTFSD
1

I’m writing a file system for Windows XP.

Before formatting my volume, I complete any outstanding
IRP_MN_NOTIFY_CHANGE_DIRECTORY requests in my filesytem. If Explorer
previously sent an IRP_MN_NOTIFY_CHANGE_DIRECTORY for the root of my
volume and I complete this IRP when I start a format operation then
Explorer removes the drive letter from its view pane. (Note, pressing F5
will refresh the drive letter properly in Explorer)

Any ideas on how I can complete the IRP_MN_NOTIFY_CHANGE_DIRECTORY IRP so
Explorer does not remove my volume from the view?

Thanks,
Francisco Wittlemire

See FASTFAT source from IFS kit - how it completes these IRPs on
dismount.
