Yes.

But you’ll like to learn there is a great tool for browsing the objects in
Windows! www.sysinternals.com, and try WinObj in the utilities section.

Yes, and Walter Oney includes another one in his WDM book, at least he did
in the first edition.

You’re thinking of DevView, which I use all the time to visualize the
tree of named objects in the kernel. I think the original poster was
interested in learning how to write utilities like this rather than how
to use them. Since DevView uses some undocumented interfaces, including
some native API calls and some internal kernel calls, I didn’t feel it
would be appropriate to publish the source.
Not to mention that I now seem to attract lawyer’s letters from
Microsoft whenever I publish something that might be construed by some
mean spirited person somewhere as a violation of an NDA. Not that I
would have published this particular stuff in any case, but it’s kind of
nice to know you have the additional incentive of potentially losing
your career and life savings if you step over the line, I always think.

If the OP is looking for sample code that demonstrates the proper
techniques to do this, is there any available? Obviously, yours isn’t. I
didn’t see any on Sysinternals or OSR, either while taking a very quick
look.

Bummer. Really sorry to hear about that.
