How to remove a driver permanently

General
Sometimes you get into a situation where you want to remove or replace a driver, but Windows remembers the driver and keeps reinstalling it.
If this happens, you have to erase that part of Windows' memory. You need to delete the relevant .inf file from %windir%\inf. It will be called oemX.inf. There will also be an oemX.pnf.
In the following example we will use a Netgear driver named WG311T. Of course you have to substitute the name of your problem driver when applying this solution.
