Driver doesnt show up in hidden devices

Does a driver have to have certain registry entries or attributes in order
to show up in the “hidden devices” in Windows 2000? Some drivers show up
there, others do not.

Thanks.

Try:
IRP_MN_QUERY_PNP_DEVICE_STATE
PNP_DEVICE_STATE
PNP_DEVICE_DONT_DISPLAY_IN_UI

Looks like this is the thing which makes the device hidden.
