Auto reinstall of devices

First of all, I don’t know that I am in the right place for this question, so if I am not, please forgive me and put this where it belongs! Here is my ‘problem’: Using the info I got from your site, titled “Uncover Devices With Device Mgr.”, and following the directions to a ‘t’, I uninstalled the things I could. However, when I did a reboot, ALL of the stuff came back; I now have to go through it all again. This is my question: How do I prevent a ‘re-install of the uneeded hardware on the re-boot? A for instance of what I am saying is the driver for ‘Closed Caption Decoder’. First of all, I have no use for that, and secondly, what is it even for?! If I wanted Closed Captioning for my PC, I would ask for something to give it to me. Will someone please tell me how to make these silly things go away, and stay away!
