If you properly installed the WDK then there should be a start menu entry
"Windows Driver Kits" that has "Build Environments" and "Help" as a couple
of items underneath it. Where you installed the WDK should have a
subdirectory called "src": that has the sources of lots of samples. The
following paper is old and somewhat out of date but can help you get started
http://www.microsoft.com/whdc/driver...Dev_Intro.mspx of course
I am biased.

__________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 4625 (20091120) __________

The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus.

In your DDK installation directory ,there is a folder called SRC which
contains the source code for different drivers (audio/video/printer etc).
Also it contains a ddksamples.chm which explains about each project and how
to compile.
This will help you to start the development.

Dear Prakash_Samiyappan, Don Burn,

Thank you for your repalys!

This is what I need.

I did not saw new wdk start menu entry, because my start menu i very long,
and most important I expected wdk menu entry to be highlited, but, windows 7
did not highlited it, maybe because there are not executable files.

Meanwhile I installed wdk help I downloaded separately from wdk. But it
looks like it double wdk help and is older build, so I will uninstall it.

Thank you for your help!

Best Regards,
Ventsislav Alexandriyski
