DevCon DriverFiles

Displays the full path and file name of installed INF files and device driver files for the specified devices. Valid only on the local computer.

devcon driverfiles {* | ID [ID ...] | =class [ID [ID ...]]}

Parameters

*

Represents all devices on the computer.

ID

Specifies all or part of a hardware ID, compatible ID, or device instance ID of a device. When specifying multiple IDs, type a space between each ID. IDs that include an ampersand character (&) must be enclosed in quotation marks.

The following special characters modify the ID parameter.

Character Description

* Matches any character or no character. Use the wildcard character (*) to create an ID pattern, for example, *disk*.

@ Indicates a device instance ID, for example, @ROOT\FTDISK\0000.

'
(single quote)
Matches the string literally (exactly as it appears). Precede a string with a single quote to indicate that an asterisk is part of the ID name and is not a wildcard character, for example, '*PNP0600, where *PNP0600 (including the asterisk) is the hardware ID.

=class

Specifies the device setup class of the devices. The equal sign (=) identifies the string as a class name.

You can also specify hardware IDs, compatible IDs, device instance IDs, or ID patterns following the class name. Type a space between each ID or pattern. DevCon finds devices in the class that match the specified IDs.
