What you can do with the Devices and Printers folder


The Devices and Printers folder allows you to perform many tasks, which vary depending on the device. Here are the main tasks you can do:

Add a new wireless or network device or printer to your computer.

View all the external devices and printers connected to your computer.

Check to see if a specific device is working properly.

View information about your devices, such as make, model, and manufacturer, including detailed information about the sync capabilities of a mobile phone or other mobile device.

Perform tasks with a device.

When you right-click a device icon in the Devices and Printers folder, you can select from a list of tasks that vary depending on the capabilities of the device. For example, you might be able to see what's printing on a network printer, view files stored on a USB flash drive, or open a program from the device manufacturer. For mobile devices that support the new Device Stage feature in Windows, you can also open advanced, device-specific features in Windows from the right-click menu, such as the ability to sync with a mobile phone or change ringtones.

Take steps to fix devices that aren't working properly.

Troubleshoot a device with a problem

Why Money - People Want a lot of it...

All in all, it was probably a mistake to look for the answer to the eternal question—"Does money buy happiness?"—from people who practice what's called the dismal science. For when economists tackled the question, they started from the observation that when people put something up for sale they try to get as much for it as they can, and when people buy something they try to pay as little for it as they can.

Hence, more money must be better than less, and the only way more of something can be better than less of it is if it brings you greater contentment.
