Showing "garbage" drivers

This is something cool we discovered at work while troubleshooting why there was a "hidden nic" on a server stopping us from setting a static (already matched).

Know when you remove a piece of hardware? Well the drivers are still there, and the system may even think the device still there.

This will let you see all these drivers. Good for troubleshooting stuff. Just did it on my home machine and holy crap. Can see all sorts of usb devices etc.
 
Nice find !

Another good one is process hacker.
It shows and lets you load and unload services that I don't think many are aware are even part of their windows install.

Services like AGP drivers, AMD cpu drivers, all things that windows 7 checks and has support for but you may never need.
