Double steroids? Really? Yes, really. If we’re going to call Device Remover a “Device Manager alternative,” the double is totally necessary.

This is no sissy-boy device tree. Five tabs present you with a tree view, list view, drivers and services, list of drivers in memory, and active system processes and handles. You can also export or print a full list of your devices and search for a specific device or driver.

On the Device Remover tools menu, you’ll find quick links to your control panel applets, relevant registry hives, shutdown options, system restore functions, MMC snap-ins, and macro that automatically removes all your data from every one of Google’s web apps. Ok, the last one not so much. But there’s a hell of a lot packed into that menu.

It’s also good at backing up drivers and cleanup duties, and it’s available as a portable app (though the .NET framework must be installed).

Pictures do this app more justice than words, so have a look at the author’s screenshot gallery on Live.com. Device Remover works on Windows XP, Vista, and 7.
