Hello,

I have vendor provided USBSTOR lower filter. I wanted to add my filter
driver below the USBSTOR lower filter. I
actually want to filter the requests further.

I'm not sure if this is possible to have two filters one below the
other, but I just wanted to check on this.

Thanks nd Regards,
uba

You can have as many filters as needed in a given location. You cannot
guarantee that your filter is immediately below another filter because some
other filter may get there first.

Is there any way I can ensure that my filter driver sits below USBSTOR
filter driver.

Also, I cannot add "LowerFilters" entry into registry as this entry
already exists with other driver. How can I add my filter driver in
registry.

Thanks nd Regards,
kid

This is a multi-sz, add your driver name as second string.
