In the folder \Windows\System32 is the file: devmgmt.msc. Right click that
file, left click Send To/Desktop (create shortcut).

location of the item box

4. Click Next.

Hi, Doug.

ALMOST as good as a shortcut...and it's already built into WinXP:

Press Win+Break, then click Hardware | Device Manager.

Thanks to all for the assistance--and the Win/Break tip.

I now have the shortcut on my desktop.
