re: Question about 'Go Directly to Device Manager' Sunday, January 26, 2003 at 7:55 pm Windows 98 Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by xpdevmgr (4 messages posted) In windows xp, microsoft reconfigured the dll file that responsible for runing the device manager and it's affiliates/funnctions?. their is an option of running the device manager: "rundll32.exe devmgr.dll DeviceManager_Execute" So if you can tweak it (try to find all the function, not just the DeviceManager_Execute) you can run anything related to the devmgr.dll / Device Manager. see http://members.fortunecity.com/xpdevicemanager/ for a usage of this feature.
