DriverQuery

The DriverQuery command can be used to list all of the installed device drivers. The drivers are listed with their name, the type of driver, and when they were installed. The basic syntax is

That seems simple enough, but if you do it, you'll notice that there are so many drivers listed that if fills the screen buffer, and you can't even scroll back to where the DriverQuery command was entered. However, you can get around this in a couple of ways.

Use the | More command. The symbol before the word More is called pipe, so it's read as "pipe more" or sometimes referred to as pipelining. Pipelining allows you to combine two commands and have the output of one as the input to another in this case. The symbol is usually located above the Enter key and is typed by using Shift+backslash (\). Enter it like this:

The More command will display a screen at a time. You can press the spacebar to get another screen or press the Enter key to get the next line.

You can modify the screen buffer size as a second method to ensure you can view all of the data provided by the command. Right-click the title bar of the command prompt and select Properties. Select the Layout tab. Change the Screen Buffer Size Height value to 9999 and click OK.

Also, just as you saw with the SystemInfo command, you can redirect the output to a text file.
