I'm not sure if there is an option in the policy settings to select to stop that.
But what you can do is go into device manager afterwards and re-install drivers for the device manually and force it to use a specific driver at a specific location of your choosing.
In device manager, right-click on device and choose
"Update Driver"
>then click through to where it says "Install from List or Specific Location"
>in next screen choose "Don't search. I will choose the Driver to Install"
>at next screen, choose "Have Disk" button, and browse to location of driver you wish.
Good luck!

Don't argue with it - just cancel out of the install it tries to do, and then do your own thing. You know, it puts up the little windows, and you cancel or x out of it.....
