Devices and printers -- windows 7

Hi,

What does a PNP driver need to do to have the device show up in “Devices and printers” applet in Windows 7? The document says “all externally connected devices” will show up in the applet.

I have already set the DEVICE_CAPABILITY::Removable to TRUE in response to PNP query capability but it doesn’t appear in “Devices and Printers”

Thanks,
John

What device class is it installed under?
