Keyboard filter driver for the multimedia and power keys on a usb keyboard.

Hello all --

I am trying to write a keyboard filter driver that will basically eat
the multimedia and the power keys on a USB keyboard. I used the
kbfiltr sample from the DDK and got it working for a PS/2 keyboard, but
it doesn't work for a USB keyboard.

I've read some other posts and it looks like the multimedia and the
power keys are separate HID collections. If this is true do I need to
write a HID filter driver for these collections?

If this isn't true then what is the best approach to take?

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
