Rick,
I just did the search process and found a tree view of several items closed
pertaining to each component, it was helpful to a point, some of it well
guess it's for more advanced computer users like yourself.
What I didn't find and want to know is, size of the hard drive, amount of
memory, where would that be through the search feature?
Thanks,
Trish

Hi Bill,
It is still called Device Manager, in Windows 7,
however, how you get to it is a little different.
In Windows 7, you can simply type the following in the search box on the
start menu:
device manager
Alternatively,
if God Mode is being used,
then a person can open that folder and find device manager in the list, and
hit enter.
HTH,
Rick Justice

What I think Trish is asking for is how to go into the "Device Manager" and
discover exactly what hardware components are configured for her system.
For example, I can do this by:
1) Opening the "SETTINGS" item on the main menu and selecting "Control
Panel"
2) Selecting "Device Manager" (or selecting "System" and then finding the
"Device Manager" tab)
3) Once the "Device Manager" is open, browsing (and opening closed
elements - the component list.
One needs to be careful not to modify any of those settings once in Device
Manager unless they are certain of what they are doing, but this isn't
really very risky since cancelling out is fairly obvious. This procedure
gives one an exhaustive list of exactly what his/her PC is comprised of
concerning hardware.
Does not Windows 7 provide a "Device Manager" interface; perhaps it isn't
called that in that OS?
