Port driver on Win2k

Hi All,
I’ve written a generic port driver which has to be started manually. In NT 4.0, I go to the control panel and select devices and locate the device and start it. I want to run it on Win2k. The registry entries are created. But how do I start it.

In the command window NET START
where is the registry entry name.

OK now its started. but i have another question. After installing the driver the list shows the driver path as ??\c:\program files\port.sys. But the other kernel drivers path is c:\winnt … ie there is no ??. What the reason for this

I haven’t really looked at this but since ??\c:\ is the same location
as \c:\ I would presume it has to do with the startup mechanism, of
using NET START versus the setup api’s.
