System-Defined Device Setup Classes

This section lists the system-supplied device setup classes. In the definition for each class, the Class and ClassGuid entries correspond to the values that must be specified in the INF Version section of a device's INF file. The GUIDs for system-supplied device setup classes are defined in Devguid.h.

Starting with Windows 2000, device drivers must supply the appropriate class GUID value in the INF file. This is optional for other components, such as filter drivers.

The following topics discuss the types of system-defined device setup classes:

System-Defined Device Setup Classes Available to Vendors
