Is it possible to launch the Device Manager without going through My
Computer / Properties / Hardware / Device Manager?
I want to detect my modem after I have booted up and then turned the modem
on.
TIA.
 
Start|Run|devmgmt.msc

Click to expand...

Not quite sure how you mean this (whether it means you don't want to
use the mouse, open up the desktop etc) but fwiw you can get direct
access to Device Manager by holding down the <Windows> key and
pressing <pause> which will bring up a "System Properties" window.
Open the <Hardware> tab and select <Device Manager>.
 
You're welcome.
