Anton,

The OP posted in multiple places, look at
microsoft.public.development.device.drivers I've been telling them to go do
a file system in a lot of posts. Also, Skywing did discuss file systems in
the original response.

David,

Wrong group, wrong answer.

Why is the answer wrong???

His 'virtual' is not really virtual, at the the way this thread has
gone. He needs a file system. Not a file system filter or minifilter.

Sorry, but no one on this thread, apart from you, ever mentioned FS
filters or minifilters - both Skywing and me said that the OP needs his
own FS driver......
