Hi, I'm new on developing a Windows Driver and on my learning stage. As of now, what I know is that drivers are installed using an INF file. What I'd like to know is whether it is possible to quick install/remove a filter driver using an application (usermode) and making it work without restarting the system. I'd also like to know how to attach the filter driver on usb mass storage devices (usbstor). Thanks.

What does your filter install need to do?

If your filter driver installation just needs to mess with the registry, then a restart probably isn't needed. See http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff547595%28VS.85%29.aspx[^]
