2. Types at prompt driverquery then press Enter key to display entire your installed drivers.

3. And the power of driverquery is not only display result like that. You can use the parameter to optimize it. And this is driverquery parameters list:

- /s Computer [Specifies the name or IP address of the computer.]- /u Domain\User [Specifies the domain and user account name to be used to run the command.]
- /p Password [Specifies the password for the user specified with the /s Computer parameter.]
- /fo {Table | List | CSV} [Used to specify the format of the output. You can choose to display the output in Table, List, or CSV format.]
- /nh [Used to suppress the display of column headers in the output.]
- /v [Used to obtain detailed information about all device drivers installed on the specified computer].
- /si [Used to obtain information about signed and unsigned device drivers.]

4. For examples; type driverquery /nh to get result without columns header; type driverquery /v to get detail drivers information; type driveryquery /si to display the status of drivers are signed or unsigned; type driverquery \\server_mysql /u office_1\farrel /p **** /fo List to get drivers information from remote computer server_mysql where located in office_1 domain and using farrel account and my password.

5. Then, I focus on /v and /fo parameters to help us exporting the result to spreadsheet application so that you can read it easily. OK, first step is export the drivers list and its information to a csv file by type driverquery /v /fo csv > your_own_file_result.csv then Enter. Change your_own_file_result.csv name with yours. For example; if you want save the csv file into C:\Data folder and give it name: my_drivers.csv, type driverquery /v /fo csv > c:\data\my_drivers.csv then press Enter.

6. Now, you’ve had my_drivers.csv file which contains information of entire drivers in C:\Data folder.

7. Then I want to export it to Microsoft Excel. Open Microsoft Excel, click Data – Import External Data – Import Data menu,

in Select Data Source dialog pointing to your csv file, change Files of type to Text file to display your csv files (in my case I was pointing it to C:\Data folder and choose my_drivers.csv file), and click Open button.

8. In Text Import Wizard – Step 1 of 3 dialog, leave Delimited is chosen, click Next button,

click Comma check box as Delimiters,

click Next button You can set columns type data in third step but I leave it as their default type, and then click Finish button.

9. If you ask the location to put the data, locate it where you want (I suggest to put it to New Worksheet), and then click OK button.

10. Now you can read them one by one easily. And the most important is you can analyze them, which are drivers have big size and use your resource by significance. If you’re already know, you can take the next action to optimize your computer.

You can subtitute command man (number 18) with info <command>, for example info fsck.
The BASH shell also offers a rename command, but this is usually used to rename many files at once, so I think mv command is more efficiently.
Hopefully, it can help you…..

3. After DOS Console appear then type PING your_address or IP press ENTER key. Destination address can in domain name or ip number, for example : PING abzsdfdfd.com or PING 202.155.x.x.

4. If the result is time out you can retry it with a parameter -w value_time the bigger value it’s mean PING will give more ‘time tolerance’. For examples PING abzsdsdsd.com -w 1000. And see the result if time value is small it’s mean you get a better result.
