XP Maximized: Quick Access To The Device Manager

If you are having problems configuring a piece of hardware. The Device Manager section of System Properties is the place to go to, and as driver installation usually requires frequent rebooting you'll be spending a lot of time opening it up.

Accessing it in the usual way is quite a long winded process, so you may want to save yourself time by creating a new desktop shortcut pointing to 'devmgmt.msc'. If you do a lot of tinkering with your PC, you can drag it into the Start menu or the Quick Launch bar so it's always easily available.
