Shortcut

If you frequently open the Device Manager, place a shortcut to it right on your Start menu for one-click access. It beats having to open the Control Panel, double-click System and select the Device Manager tab every time.

Right-mouse click the Start button and select Open to open the Start Menu folder. Right-mouse click inside the window, select New, then select Shortcut. Next to Command Line, type exactly:

C:\WINDOWS\CONTROL.EXE Sysdm.cpl, System,1

(where c:\Windows is your Windows 95 directory) Click the Next button, name the shortcut Device Manager, and click Finish. The next time you want to open the Device Manager, click Start and select your new shortcut.
