Also when same driver is installed twice (two device nodes created with
same identity) it shows such prefix. I don't know why does this happen?
Could anybody clarify it?

My client wants to override the friendly MIDI device name specified in the

"My Device"
"My Device (2)"
"My Device (3)"

of "2- " onto the device name. Where does that come from, and is there a
way to override it?
I can already change the FriendlyName successfully
via IoOpenDeviceInterfaceRegistryKey following IoGetDeviceInterfaces with
the PDO. This sends me to the following registry location, at least on
Win8.1:
Key:
Control\DeviceClasses\{6994ad04-93ef-11d0-a3cc-00a0c9223196}\##?#USB#VID_<myvid>&PID_<mypid>#<myserial>#{6994ad04-93ef-11d0-a3cc-00a0c9223196}\#Uart\Device
Parameters
Value name "FriendlyName" of type: REG_SZ
When I change the FriendlyName value, I can successfully see the new name
as I enumerate MIDI devices, however I also still see the unwanted, and in
my opinion, no longer necessary prefix of "2- ", so I end up with a device
name of "2- My Device (2)" and so on. Ideas?

Andrew
