How do you get the 'add new hardware' screen to show up where you can click cancel when you install a usb device instead of having the hardware wizard automatically install it with Windows drivers?

after you double click on "add new hardware" there will eventually be a screen that asks you if you want windows to look for it or if you choose to select it yourself. When you select that option, a list of hardware opens up. just follow the prompts. Don't be afraid to let the wizard start to look. It won't search unless you choose that option.
Nah, I suspect they're referring to the times when Windows actually manages to find the inf on it's own so you never get a chance to do anything. I had this trouble myself at one point. In the end, I searched for and deleted the .inf file that Windows was using so it had to ask me for a location.
