Showing all installed device drivers in Windows

Windows is weird in how it handles drivers of old hardware, old hardware being things you've replaced with better, newer and shinier bits of tech.
 
Anyway it might come to a point where you want/need to remove a driver for a old bit of hardware that you threw out long ago, Windows decides to hide all the old drivers you have installed for hardware that isn't currently plugged in to show it simply type: 
 
set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1 
 
devmgmt.msc

Welcome to imranh.co.uk!

Hello!

Welcome to the all new imranh.co.uk, first of I'd just like to say, this should of been done a very long time ago. I've been meaning to make myself a website for ages now so I can rant, ramble and even show off some of the things I do but have never gotten around to doing it, so yay.

Hopefully the site will be split up into 2 main areas, 1 which is the blog area, where I'll just blog about stuff, rant or whatever comes to mind and the second area is going to be the projects area, where I show off what I've been doing/working on.
