Windows NT Services and Drivers

Here are some sample routines implementing basic Driver/Service management functions:

For more details about system calls used, refer to MSDN or Winsvc.h from MSVC 6.0

Generally, I'm planning arranging these to something like open-source library.

Also you can find interesting the console Driver installing tool by Microsoft - drvinst. I've compiled it and published with VC6 project files. In future I'll extend it to full-functional driver/service management console tool.
