Removing Drivers from a system

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.device_driver.dev (More info?)

Hi All,

I search for a way to implement a driver removal into a tool. I know that
by default drivers registered once should resist in the system. Can someone
explain me a way to remove, deregister, etc. drivers ? Is there a manual
from microsoft or someone else available ?
How can I determine which files and entries belong to which driver ? (I did
not develope them but need to remove them). I believe that I should be able
to get this information out of the inf files but as far as I know there are
some dynamic entries e.g. in the registry and the oem*.inf files. If it is
not possible to remove the driver in a spotlessly clean way, is there a
possibility to disable drivers?
I need to know this for modem and network card device classes.

Your help is much appreciated.

Thanks & Best Regards,
Darius
