Re: What is the main difference between the symbolic link and "device object Name"

Even if your FDO does not have a name, you can still register a device
interface and be opened from user-mode because a DI is associated with the
PDO, which probably has a name.

That said, I have no idea what the PNP manager security is.

Thank you PETER , Mat & shiva for the clarification.

I have one more question in the same topic.

I have somewhere read that "Naming the device object will
bypasses the PnP Manager’s security " .

But without having a name for the device objcet how can
one open handle to the device object ???.

Thanks,
