It is a very didatic and complete guide - it seems that even a small kid can write up an .INF file after some reading..

I liked the quiz:

QUOTE

After reading this tutorial, you should be able to answer the following questions:

1. What section in an .INF file is used to install a hardware-specific function filter?
2. What is the Manufacturer section used for?
3. What types devices must have their PnP Ids listed in the [ControlFlags] ExcludeFromSelect directive? Why?
4. What is the Strings section used for?

A very good idea to ensure the lesson was taught properly!

Unfortunatelly also this article did not explain me an universal valid algorithm to convert 'HKR' to a registry key.

There are never stupid questions, there can be only stupid answers.
