this fiels are necessary to install new devices per add new hardware wizard.

if you delete these files and have already installed your driver, all works
fine.

if you want to add new hardware later, copy these files back to the folders
and you can install new driver...

Just to be clear on something, leaving out the new
hardware wizard will only prevent you from MANUALLY
adding hardware. You can still land the drivers in a
directory included in the DevicePath, then allow PNP to
install the device for you once it's attached to the
system.

HTH,

how, again?

I realize this is an old thread, but I'm trying to get the Found New Hardware Wizard to stop interrupting an installation of a driver (which for some reason won't install via the new hardware wizard itself). I have tried the solution mentioned here - deleting (or moving or renaming) the cpl and dll files mentioned - and it doesn't work. The Found New Hardware Wizard still pops up on its regular schedule: at startup and two or three minutes after I uninstall the device it keeps finding and putting on the device manager.

Any other solutions? How do I get it to stop launching that wizard?
