Chad,
WinDriversBackup did the trick.
I found out from it that INFs were getting renamed when placed in the INF directory to a OEM?.inf naming convention.
I also had to alter the \Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup: "SourcePath"="%PATH%" to where I was placing the drivers.
With this don't all the end users have todo is press enter twice - almost idiot proof.

Removing it will be another trick, but that is a dance for another day.
If you ever get up north I'll buy some beers.

Tony, any intrest in moving to Boston?
