If you remove a piece of hardware, particularly USB devices that may be frequently swapped out, without first Uninstalling it in Device Manager, the drivers remain behind, but the device no longer shows up in Device Manager by default.
Plug and Play, when it works, makes life simpler by automatically detecting and configuring new hardware as it is attached to the computer. With today's USB, smartcard and other removable media, it makes life much more efficient. But, while Windows is fairly good at detecting the hardware and installing the appropriate drivers, it is not so good at realizing that the device is gone and purging the drivers from the system.
If you actually right-click the device in Device Manager and select Uninstall, the device and its associated drivers will be removed. But, if you just remove the device, it will disappear from the Device Manager, but may leave the drivers behind. Those drivers, aside from taking up space, could later be found to contain vulnerabilities and expose your system to compromise even though you aren't aware the drivers exist.
With the device physically removed from the computer, the only way to view, and thereby have access to uninstalling, the drivers is to alter Device Manager to Show hidden devices. Follow the steps below to display the hidden device information:
1. Right-click My Computer and select Properties
2. Click on the Advanced tab
3. Click on Environment Variables
4. Below the bottom Environment Variables window pane (System Variables), click on New
5. For Variable Name, enter devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices
6. For Variable Value, enter 1
7. Click OK to close Environment Variables and OK again to close System Properties
Now that you have created this entry, when you open Device Manager, you can click on View and then select Show hidden devices from the menu. You can identify the hidden devices by their grayed-out icons.
This works in XP and Vista.

Voice and Speech Recognition
An easy software solution to enable you to control your computer, dictate emails and letters, and have the computer read documents back to you.
10 Reasons for Trying
e-Speaking's Software
1. Free Download of software
2. Over 100 commands built-in
3. Ability to add more commands
4. Runs in Windows2000 and WindowsXP
5. Small file size
6. Utilizes latest technologies from Microsoft
7. Seamlesly integrate with Office
8. Voice commands of Mouse events
9. Based on SAPI and .NET technologies
10. Easy to Use
What Is It?
Command and control your Window's computer through your voice. Operate your computer using a minimum of keystrokes or mouse clicks. If you want to move the cursor down one line, simply say: Down One. Want to check your emails? Simply say: Open Email. Add commands to open and control any Window's document or program.
What is Speech Recognition? What is Voice Recognition?]
These are exciting technologies that change the way you interact with your computer. Now you can speak to your computer and it can speak back. The speech that you and your computer exchange is scripted. In other words, you can't just ask your computer how he/she is feeling? Rather, you can talk to your computer using a set of pre-defined commands and instructions (i.e., a script). Your computer will respond in the same way (also using a scripted language). For example, you can say: "File Open", and the computer would respond: "Select the file". Or you can say: "Edit Find" and the computer would ask: "Find What?".
Why speak to your computer?
People have been speaking to each other for tens of thousands of years. Our brains have evolved to perform a fantastic and complex set of analyses of auditory input (i.e., sounds). Our brains convert the sounds we hear into conceptual ideas and thoughts which in turn form the basis of instructions, commands, information, and entertainment. Though the computer is just beginning its evolution in this area, most computers are capable of hearing your speech and acting on it. This is the promise of voice recognition technology today. Using speech to interact with your computer--both you speaking to your computer and your computer speaking back.
How Does It Work?
Utilizing Microsoft's Speech Application Program Interface (SAPI) and Microsoft's .NET Framework, we have developed a very small and efficient voice command and recognition application. SAPI and .NET are both required to use this software.
Dictation as Well?
Voice Dictation is integrated into the e-Speaking application including 26 different Dictation Voice Commands.
Why e-Speaking?
Our intent in developing this product was to suppliment your ability to command and control your computer through your voice. To enable you to have access to dictation software using Microsoft's SAPI speech engine. And to allow the computer to read documents and emails to you.
How Expensive is It?
It is Shareware. That means: You can download it and try it out for 30 days to see if you like it. The 30 day trial period is Free! That's right. You can download it with over 100 built-in commands and begin using it today at no cost. If you really like the program and want to use it beyond the first 30 days, the cost is $14.

What is Speech Recognition?
Speech Recognition is a technology that allows the computer to identify and understand words spoken by a person using a microphone or telephone. The ultimate goal of the technology is to be able to produce a system that can recognize with 100% accuracy all words that are spoken by any person.
Even after years of research in this area, the best speech recognition software applications still cannot recognize speech with 100% accuracy. Some applications are able to recognize over 90% of words when spoken under specific constraints regarding content and previous training to recognize the speaker's speech characteristics.
Computer software that understands your speech enables you to have conversations with the computer. These conversations would include you and the computer speaking as commands or in response to events, input, or other feedback.
Speaking is easier and more intuitive than selecting buttons and menu items. Human speech has evolved over many thousands of years to become an efficient method of sharing information and giving instructions.
