Windows Equivalent for lspci

windows

Anyone know if an equivalent of lspci exists for Windows?

lspci is a really nice Linux command to list all the device info on the pci bus. This tells you exactly what chipsets are present in video, network, and audio devices. Since companies like Dell allow you to choose from a couple of different network and video options it would really help when trying to figure out how the system you're working on is configured when the system is missing drivers.

I don't know about a command that will do this, but there are a number of programs that will do this. My favorite is SIW. They have an installable version as well as a standalone version.

Windows – How to find what process is holding a file open in Windows

I've had success with Sysinternals Process Explorer. With this, you can search to find what process(es) have a file open, and you can use it to close the handle(s) if you want. Of course, it is safer to close the whole process. Exercise caution and judgement.

To find a specific file, use the menu option Find->Find Handle or DLL... Type in part of the path to the file. The list of processes will appear below.

If you prefer command line, Sysinternals suite includes command line tool Handle, that lists open handles.

Examples

c:\Program Files\SysinternalsSuite>handle.exe |findstr /i "e:\" (finds all files opened from drive e:\"
c:\Program Files\SysinternalsSuite>handle.exe |findstr /i "file-or-path-in-question"

Windows CLI – Windows Equivalent of Unix ‘whoami’ Command

Since Windows 2000, the whoami command has been part of the standard command line (thanks to pk for clearing that up in comments!).

You can do this: Open a command prompt and type "set" then hit enter. This shows active environment variables. Current logged on username is stored in the USERNAME env variable and your domain is stored in the USERDOMAIN variable.

To piggy-back off the other answers, from a cmd line:

echo %USERDOMAIN%\%USERNAME%

will get you the complete logged on user in domain\username format.

You can do the same thing with Powershell with this:

write-host $env:userdomain\$env:username
