Windows by default provides a device manager which allows users to see all connected devices and its properties, however if you are not very comfortable with device manager, there is a cool new freeware called DevManView which displays all devices and their properties in flat table, instead of tree viewer.

In order to get started with DevManView, all you need is an executable which can be downloaded from here (DevManView.exe).

After running DevManView, the main window displays the list of all devices found in your system. By default, non-plug and play drivers (LegacyDriver) are not displayed, but you can add them by selecting the ‘Show Non-Plug And Play Drivers’ in the Options menu. You can then select one or more than devices from the list, and then save their details into text/html/xml/csv file (Ctrl+S) or copy them to the clipboard (Ctrl+C) and then paste the data to Excel or other spreadsheet application.

DevManView also allows you to disable, enable, and uninstall the selected devices. However, you must be very careful when using the disable/uninstall options, because disabling or uninstalling an essential device might cause troubles to your operating system.

DevManView allows you to connect another computer on your LAN, and view the devices list in the remote computer. In order to successfully connect the remote computer, you must have full administrator access to this computer, and you may need to make a few configuration changes in the remote computer in order to make it work. You can read all the changes required to be made here.
