Is it possible to load/unload NDIS drivers (in this case, an NDIS IM driver)
on XP and W2K from a USB drive without actually installing the driver (i.e.,
changing the registry)?

I know one solution would be to install the driver using the INetCfg API as
shown in BindView, but that would require an install through an .inf file
with modifications made to the registry. I wanted to see if it's possible to
dynamically load the driver and avoid the registry changes.

Thanks!

No. Not a NDIS IM driver.
