Open Device Manager on a half-broken Windows system

[Problem]
You have to fix something on a half broken windows box (ie. deinstall a broken driver that fucks up the system on boot), but opening any window or move much on the system at all is not a good idea.

[Solution]
Just use the shortcut or the mouse to get to "run" (Start Button ==> run), and enter devmgmt.msc

This will directly bring up the device manager.
