Here is an article you should read

Here is a program that names the manufacturers of the hardware devices installed on your computer.

WinAudit - Download - Home Page (Freeware)
(Here is a description from the developer's site) "...WinAudit is easy to use, no special knowledge is required to use the program. It is a self-contained single file that needs no installation or configuration. It can be run from a floppy disk or USB stick. Simply download the program and double click on it. User interface translations have been kindly contributed by several people, if possible WinAudit will automatically start in your language...."

If you've ever needed to close multiple application with multiple windows open all at the same time.

Here's a way to do it:

1. Hold down the CTRL key, and click each of the task icons on the taskbar
(each task icon will look depressed - not sad, depressed - like pushed in depressed!)

2. When you've clicked them all and get to the last one, right-click on it and choose "Close Group".

After you've selected "Close Group" Windows will begin the exit procedure for each open application and window. Don't worry! If any application has any unsaved information (for instance, in a open document you're working on), the program will still warn you that you have unsaved work in progress and you'll have a chance to to save your work before the program closes.

Thats all for today
