Default Driver removal

How do I completely remove a driver from WinXP? I don't want to disable
it or update it but remove it completely.
Is there any freeware that will do the job satisfactorily?

TIA

Geoff.

>>You can perfectly remove it from Windows Search as well.
Remember the name of the driver, needs not be 100%
exactly. Under: "file name" type in > *.inf, under: "any
word or expression in the file name" type the name of the
driver you want to remove. Then you can delete it directly
from within Search Results window. At best do using
a file wiper, it does do the job excellent.
