How to load a *.sys driver dynamically / from command line?

[carla lacrosse]

Normally *.sys drivers are put during the installation of a program into the folder

C:\Windows\system32\drivers\

and loaded from there during the next boot.

But is there a way to NOT put it into the directory mentioned above and
load it dynamically later (without reboot) from command line?

I could imagine that there is something similar to registering DLLs aferwards with

regsvr32 aaaaa.dll

Maybe there is twin command like:

regload32 bbbbb.sys

You can try with SC.exe. For more help Do sc /? at the Command Prompt.
