Prevent XP From Detecting USB Device?

[GeekBros]

Greetings Gurus,

Is it possible to prevent XP from detecting and/or configuring a device when it is plugged in to a usb port? I have Motorola Phone Tools which interfaces with my cell phone. In order for the program to work correctly, it needs to be able to mount the phone and have full access to it. However, XP automatically detects it as soon as it is plugged in and takes control of it thereby preventing my program from detecting and mounting it. Any suggestions?

Are there special USB drivers that will do this and enable Motorola to detect the cell phone before XP kicks in?

It is not something I use myself so I only half understood what is being discussed here in these posts. Maybe if it applies it will make sense to you, alternatively it might be just not applicable in your problem.
