load order of drivers

NTFSD
1

Hi all,

In my project we have two fs filters that need to be loaded one after the
other. If you ask me why we cannot merge the two into one, the simple reason
is that the client is not going to give us the code of one of the drivers.
The other one we are developing.

Anyway, if these two are called as driver A and driver B.

How do I load driver A always before driver B? Is there are registry key to
do that? Both are boot start filters.

Thanks and regards
Rohit

When driver B loads you can check first whether A is loaded or not.
