NTDevices (v1.9.3) is a driver/device object explorer utility for Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003 and Windows Vista32.

NTDevices provides a window on an area of the system that normally remains hidden from view, i.e., your system's drivers and their associated devices.  The index in NTDevices can be configured to display entries by:

  • process
  • driver classification
  • device name
  • attached devices
  • symbolic link values
  • driver name

Toggling between Admin Mode and non-Admin Mode hides or reveals, respectively, kernel memory addresses for drivers and devices.  Also, on each tabsheet display you have the opportunity to examine the raw kernel memory byte values for a particular object.

Selecting an item in the index allows you to display

  • driver detail
  • device detail
  • registry detail
  • memory dump

Once an item's detail information is displayed, you are presented with a tabsheet display that logically organizes the details of the object according to its type.  For example, displaying device detail presents

  • details
  • flags/characteristics
  • symbolic links
  • security descriptor
  • deferred procedure call
  • device queue

Or when examining driver detail one can select from

  • details
  • section
  • extension

If you wish to examine the device chain for a particular driver, the operation becomes a simple matter of successively opening device detail windows until the last device in the chain is displayed.

There also is available a "Create Profile" menu item that will walk every driver currently loaded on the system and collect the devices that are linked with the drivers.  If one needs to create a snapshot of their system before and after the installation of produce (which is known to add drivers), they have a convenient mechanism for capturing the driver picture.
