Painful

I had downloaded all of the device drivers from HP for my new laptop and saved them for future use. The day of “future use” is here, the webcam stopped working and I’m thinking of reinstalling the drivers. Unfortunately, all the downloaded files have names of the form “sp?????.exe” so there is no way to tell which file is which driver. HP, what were you thinking?

 

They are not the only ones, sadly. Why is it so difficult to name files in meaningful ways? I’m now invoking each file and renaming the executable just to find my webcam driver…
