Deactivate components of device manager?

I got an SoundBlaster Audigy 1 in my Computer. On the card, there is an Firewire controller. I don't need this controller so I disable it every time I install Win XP. Is there any way to disable the 1394 controller and the creative gameport unattended (I don't need that)? I already tried a regsnap and made a reg file with the modified, removed and new keys, but when I want to execute it, Windows gives me an error:

hmm... it seems you can't add/apply those regkeys because they are already in use by the system. So you will have to add/apply them BEFORE the system uses them.

Applying this regfile from cmdlines.txt may work I think.

You shouldn't add the part with the & (Ampersand), because that way it will give an error! Example, I use this to disable my PC-speaker:

Devcon disable ACPI\PNP0800

or you could use this:

Devcon disable *\PNP0800

Actually, this command to check for IDs is better:

Devcon hwids *

Yes I saw..that will disable every component of one vendor....

I use these lines now to disable the 2 components:

cmd2[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Install\\devcon.exe disable PCI\CC_0C00']
cmd3[pn]=['%cdrom%\\Install\\devcon.exe disable PCI\CC_0980']

It's in WPI.

oh yeah...doesn't work. Now I execute a cmd file with WPI that calls the devcon.exe

cmdow.exe @ /HID
@echo off

%systemdrive%\Install\devcon.exe disable PCI\CC_0C00
%systemdirve%\Install\devcon.exe disable PCI\CC_0980

That works...any idea how it works with WPI?
