Common Drivers installation path in windows vista

Hello.
I have a problem.
Every time I connect a Usb Pen or another new hardware that vista never used
before, but that is supposed to be recognized by windows, Vista never finds
the drivers, always asks what to do, and I always choose the c:\windows
folder and subfolders.
It then finds and installs correctly.
Is there any way that I can correct windows with the default PATH where the
drivers are, so I'm not asked every time ??

Thank you.
