Programmatically Add Fake Hardware in Windows

Question

I have created a fake usb flash driver driver in Windows that will fake Windows into thinking that a new hardware device is attached. I have also found the APIs that allow me to enumerate the hardware attached (so I know which device is my fake driver).

The problem is I only want to attach the hardware when my program is running, and I don't want it to be accessible when my program is not running.

How can I programmatically add this hardware or enable/disable this driver? Someone suggested the right nomenclature is "load/unload".

Using VC++ with Windows APIs on Windows 7 and higher.

In the simplest case the same way like you load the driver right now. — rekire, Mar 03 '13 at 15:33

Try the C++ class wrapper to load/unload device drivers from code project.
