Q:
How do I show hidden or unused devices in Device Manager in Windows XP?
 
A:
Go to your command prompt by going to Start-Run (or Windows key-R)

set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
start devmgmt.msc (starts device manager)

Make sure you do also check view, show hidden devices.. at that point, the device manager has nothing to hide!
