Topic: new hardware prompts

does anybody know how to 'automatically' install 'default' drivers or whatever it can find upon plugging in new hardware?

i get those add new device wizards/prompts whatever you call them, and i need to press next all the time till its done. it becomes a bother when you have a usb keyboard and a mouse plugged into this newly reformatted pc. if you get what i mean.

;device prompt
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DriverSearching]
"DontSearchWindowsUpdate"=dword:00000001
"DontPromptForWindowsUpdate"=dword:00000001
"DontSearchCD"=dword:00000001
"DontSearchFloppies"=dword:00000001

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Driver Signing]
"BehaviorOnFailedVerify"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows NT\Driver Signing]
"BehaviorOnFailedVerify"=dword:00000000

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Driver Signing]
"Policy"=dword:00000000

this is what i got. what else am i missing?

Re: new hardware prompts

SAD works nicely for this... alternately you could use DSPdsblr.exe whyich is included with base in the finisher archive.

Re: new hardware prompts

What I was referring to wasn't installing drivers for the given hardware, it's that "Welcome to the Found New Hardware Wizard" where you have the option to select install the software automatically (recommended) or install from a list or  specific location (advanced).... where if you use the recommended method, it'll install the default windows drivers (which is what I want for my purpose)....

the whole idea is, I don't want the dialog, if there are default windows drivers for it, i want it to use them, and I'll install the proper / latest drivers for them as I please.

Hope for some assistance:) thanks
