Removing Devices from Device Manager

Under the System Properties, go the Hardware Profile tab.

Use the Copy button to create yourself a new Hardware Profile name.

Then reboot your computer. Windows will prompt you to select between your default profile and the new one you've justcreated. Select your new one.

Once Windows is back up, go back to your System Properties, this time to your Device Manager. Use the Delete button to remove devices galore! Press OK when you're done. (If you also want to free up the physical resource -- IRQs, I/O -- you'll want to remove the devices themselves!)

Once you're done, you'll have two hardware profiles to select from at startup: one with all your devices and your new one stripped down.

Good luck!
