Re: Assigning a drive letter to com port



if you just want this to work in explorer, you can write a shell namespace
extension, no FS filter. if you want this to work on the command line, a
driver which exposes itself as a disk (no need for an FS filter) should
work.

Hello,

I don't know whether this is possible, but if you want to make a file
system driver you should get Rajeev Nagars book "Windows NT File System
Internals: A Developer's Guide"

Hi,
I would like to write a program:
In Windows Explorer, after drag&drop a file to
a pre-defined drive letter (for example F:) the file
should be sent through the COM port to an
external device(digital satellite receiver).
Where should I start?
Do I have to write a device driver?(So, is it
right place to ask the question?)
I'm using Borland C++ Builder 5.
Do I have to use VC++ or can non-Microsoft
compilers do the job?

Thanks...
