When I install new hardware, windows doesn't know where to go to look for the
drivers. I need to tell it to go to windows/inf. Is there a setting that I
can change to make this the default??? Thanks, Arnold

Not allways a good idea to rely on win for the drivers, does your new hw not
come with a driver cd?

Hii, that feild / box is given for you to enter the path of source for
hardware drivers that you get in a storage medium (floppy/cd) when u buy the
hardware. the windows/inf directory doesnt contain drivers for all ur
hardware needs, yes once they are installed u can use this path to search
for the drivers if u plan on reinstalling / debuggin , etc... as they are
stored here after installation.

Hope this helps...,
