My Nexus 4 is recognised as a Nexus 4 in Device Manager with a yellow exclamation mark on its icon.
When I installed the USB drivers for it, the yellow mark went away, and Device Manager said that the device is working properly. However, it is not appearing as a portable device or removable drive, and I cannot access the files on the device.
What am I missing? I'm running 32-bit Windows XP SP3 .
Unfortunately there isn't much you can do at this point. Driver signing is required (no matter what group policy options you pick) for 64-bit Windows. In fact, if I remember right it was like this back when XP 64-bit edition was released. Your best bet is to contact the company of the device and ask them for signed drivers.
I worked around this by signing them myself. To do that I had my own Certificate Authority on my domain issue a code signing certificate that I then used to sign the drivers. While my solution used Windows Server you should be able to do something with openssl and the like. You just need to trust the root signing certificate to make it work.
Obviously with all the work involved with #2 you really should see if you can get your hands on signed drivers!
Lastly, to make sure it is a signed driver issue, reboot your machine and press F8 before Windows 7 boots and select Disable driver signing and see if your device works. If it doesn't, you have another (unknown at this time) issue.
Q1: Why doesn't Windows recognize my device even when it already has a proper driver? And how can I fix this?
A Code 37 error basically means that the driver installed for the hardware device has failed in some way.
If you used phone with your PC before, try to rollback drivers. If you didn't or it doesn't help, update driver. Is there a driver from phone manufacturer(on CD, online)? These drivers are often better than Microsoft's.
Run sfc /scannow in command prompt as administrator. It repairs system files. Deleteing the UpperFilters and LowerFilters registry values might also help.

EDIT:
You can stop this error(\Driver\WUDFRd failed to load) by changing the Windows Driver Foundation - User-mode Driver Framework service to Automatic. Type Services into the start search box Go down the list to Windows Driver Foundation - User-mode Driver Framework
Double click on it and change startup type to Automatic.
The following boot-start or system-start driver(s) did not load: wayuia

Q2: Can I somehow assure that those driver INF files showed in the Gif below are only for my portable device and save to remove? Or are those default Windows driver files?
They are Windows drivers, so don't delete them.
Q3: How can I do a fresh driver install so the MS drivers will be used? (Remember, no checkbox while uninstalling!)
You already have MS drivers.

As wrong as this sounds, you need to update your version of Windows Media Player in order to install the MTP drivers that are now needed for modern Android devices.

You can also download and install the MTP kit from Microsoft.
