Hi,
Where in the registry should I create a key which can be read from
my driver during system boot? I would like to create a registry key using
Install Shield and read it from my driver during boot time. Right now I am
creating this key in HKLM\Software\MyDriver. But I am not able to read this
key from my driver at boot time. I don’t want to use the registry path
passed during DriverEntry since this registry entry is shared with some of
my other drivers too.
Can someone suggest a registry path that can be shared across drivers during
boot time?
Thanks & Regards,
S.Balaji

You cannot use the HKLM\Software\ registry path for boot time because these
set of registry values won’t be available to the kernel during boot time.
The best path would be HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services.

Try the HKLM/System/CurrentControlSet/Services/MyDriver/Parameters. However
is yours is a WDM driver then you reference registry keys using the GUID for
your driver.

HKLM\Software is not accessible at boot.
