Add Device Manager To Right-Click of My Computer
Contributed by Rob Rogers 
Tagged: Windows networking For much easier access to the XP’s Device Manager, add it to the context menu of My Computer by doing the following:
Open up Notepad and copy the following:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\DevMgr]
@=”Device Manager”
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID\{20D04FE0-3AEA-1069-A2D8-08002B30309D}\shell\DevMgr\command]
@=”mmc.exe %%SYSTEMDRIVE%%\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\devmgmt.msc”
Save the text file and rename it to for example XP_DeviceMgr_MyComputer_Context”.
Then merge it into the registry by double clicking it.

This code above does not work at all. Windows then says: This file does not have a program associated with it for performing this action. Create an association in the Folder Ooptions control panel.
