driver not loaded in safe mode?

NTDEV
1

Hi,

I have written a disk filter driver.
However I notice that if I go into Safe Mode, my driver will not be loaded
anymore.

Is it possible to make Windows load my driver too in Safe Mode?

Thank You!

cheers,
vincent

Probably not. That’s what makes it “safe”.

There is a registry entry for SafeBoot, and that takes care of services
being loaded even in safemode. I guess, it should work for driver too
being a service !

hi,

does that mean that in safe mode, windows will use another registry branch
to load the drivers it required in safe mode?
which branch will that be?

thank you!

No not quite. The entry is already created by the OS setup, it gets
consulted when safeboot is active.

BTW, there is an excellent article on the net, provided by MS customer
support or something, so pls
search the internet with “Microsoft safeboot” or “Windows safeboot” or some
such…

This is discussed in the book Inside Windows 2000 by Solomon and
