+The default driver on windows we support is sec2 driver. However, stdio driver
+is also supported. If you want to use stdio driver in your application, you
+may set environment variable HDF5_DRIVER to "stdio".

+variable,
+
+ a) Go to Control panel and find "system",
+ b) Click "system" and choose "advanced",
+ c) Choose Environment Variables
+ d) Add new variable "HDF5_DRIVER"
+ e) set the "HDF5_DRIVER" to "stdio"
+
+Reminder: if you don't want to use stdio driver, please remember to delete
+the environment variable "HDF5_DRIVER" or change the variable value to "sec2".
