Drivers.exe: List Loaded Drivers

Admin Tip #64: Drivers.exe: List Loaded Drivers

Hits: Failed to execute CGI : Win32 Error Code = 3

Microsoft releases sample utilities from the Windows 2000 Resource kits. Drivers.exe is available for free download. This tool is included in the Windows 2000 Server Resource Kit only. This command-line tool displays character-based information about the installed device drivers. There are no command-line arguments; simply run the program and pipe the results to driver|more and view the list on your screen or redirect the results into a text file as in driver > c:\drivers.txt

The contents when I ran the command on my Windows NT workstation follows:
