Windows XP, and later operating systems, contain the DRIVERQUERY command.

Open a CMD prompt and type driverquery /?

DRIVERQUERY [/S system [/U username [/P [password]]]]
              [/FO format] [/NH] [/SI] [/V]
Description:
    Enables an administrator to enumerate and display the list of
    installed device drivers as well as their properties.

Parameter List:
      /S     system           Specifies the remote system to connect to.

      /U     [domain\]user    Specifies the user context
                              under which the command should execute.

      /P     [password]       Specify the Password for the given
                              user context. Prompts for input if omitted.

      /FO    format           Specifies the type of output to display.
                              Valid values to be passed with the
                              switch are "TABLE", "LIST", "CSV".

      /NH                     Specifies that the "Column Header"
                              should not be displayed in the
                              screen output. Valid for "TABLE"
                              and "CSV" format only.

      /V                      Displays detailed information. Not valid
                              for signed drivers.

      /SI                     Provides information about signed drivers.

      /?                     Displays this Help/Usage.

Examples:
   DRIVERQUERY
    DRIVERQUERY /FO CSV /SI
    DRIVERQUERY /NH
    DRIVERQUERY /S ipaddress /U user  /V
    DRIVERQUERY /S system /U domain\user /P password /FO LIST



   1. Open a Command Prompt window.
   2. Type: Driverquery on the command line.

The results are displayed in a table format in the Command Prompt window. If you want to perform more detailed analysis, you can direct the Driver Query to save the results in a CSV file so you can open them in a spreadsheet application such as Excel. To do so, type the following on the command line:

Driverquery  /v  /fo  csv  > drivers.csv

Note: This tip applies only to Windows XP Professional.

Thanks for adding this I Have XP Pro like you say it works on that

the main tip in this was also to add information as a txt document rather than just looking at it on the screen so you could print things off example

net user Administrator>Admin.txt

this can be useful at times and for records use if you wanted to thanks for adding that in though
