AlanHo Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 An easy way to access device manager in Windows XP is to set up a desktop shortcut.Enter devmgmt.msc into the location box. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-pops- Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 ?It is very rare for me to be interested in what is in device manager so a shortcut is something of a non-item for me. I only use it when something is amiss. Do you use it often, Alan? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
expertec Posted November 8, 2005 Report Share Posted November 8, 2005 Back in the days of Windows 95, and constant tinkering with the innards of the PC to keep it going, such a shortcut would have been very handy. :D But now I rarely use Device Manager... I just don't need to. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 I have shortcuts to Device Manager (devmgmt.msc), Computer Management (compmgmt.msc), Administrative Tools, Services (services.msc), Security (security.msc), Componenet Services (comexp.msc), plus other system tools on my desktop. I do not really use them often, but if I need any of them, it is simply a pain to locate them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Other, occasional use, items I access from either the "Unused Desktop" or from the progams list in the start menu.I'm not obsessed with tidiness or anything like that but, for some reason, I hate to have loads of rarely used/unwanted items staring at me. It's even more odd with this in that it is rare for my desktop to be seen for more than a very short time each day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ɹəuəllıʍ ʇɐb Posted November 9, 2005 Report Share Posted November 9, 2005 Isn't rather cluttered?As I have mentioned in the other topic, I like my desktop rather cluttered. I know where everything is, so if something upsets the order, I get quite lost.For things I use a lot, I use the Office Shortcut Bar, with several sections.And apps that I use very, very often are waiting in the Quick Launch Bar.
