I'm trying to disable all the unnecessary hardware from an instance of W7 I'm using for audio production.
So I uninstalled all of the networking and integrated sound etc....
But when I reboot Windows re-installs all of it back. How do i stop this. This instance of W7 isn't connected to the internet, and I have it set to never install drivers from Windows update.

Any ideas?

But I have another instance of Windows on the same machine.
I use this other instance for regular stuff like internet or games or movies.

Is there no way to stop it from detecting this. I can't do this every time I boot it up.
