How to make Windows 7 ask for driver location when connecting a new device

Hi all, does anyone know how to get Windows 7 Home Premium to ask me the location to search for drivers when a new device is connected to my system? in Windows Vista/XP we had the option to search/locate drivers manualy or search windows update when a new device was connected, i know i can do this from device manager but i would like to use the "found new hardware wizard" but this option seems to be missing from Windows 7.

Thanks.

Thanks, but i want Windows to ask me where the driver is located instead of auto installing when i connect a new device.

Thanks for the reply, but, the options that you get are the same as the options in advanced sytem settings, and there is no option to make Windows ask me for driver location.

Thanks for this, the problem is, Windows 7 Home Premium doesn't contain gpedit.msc, i think but i'm not shure that gpedit.msc is only available with enterprise, professional and ultimate versions of Windows 7, stupid microsoft.
