Bouf!

I've tried stopping Windows from automatically installing/re-installing
my built-in webcam's driver, but it still installs it.

I know you could set it to "ask me" or "never check" on the "Hardware"
tab in "System" but nevertheless it still does.

Anyway to stop it completely? I don't want to disable it only, I just
want to completely remove it.

Thanks!

Built-in devices will constantly be having the drivers automatically
loaded when Windows starts. The only way is to disable the built-in
device from the PCs (laptop) BIOS.

In the case of a webcam, one would disable it in Device Manager..

In Device Manager, properties of the webcam, use 'disable the selected
device'.

Uninstall the driver and then disconnect the webcam.

Unfortunately this is how it works in Vista & win7.
After uninstalling a driver, the system immediately tries to restore the
previous one
(unlike XP which just leaves the driver uninstalled).

So the only solution is to disable the device, or install a "null" driver.
