The registry holds the information regarding your hardware. On Windows NT/2000/XP, look in:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class

All the different types of hardware are enumerated there, along with some information about the specific devices. For example, the key

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Class\{4D36E96D-E325-11CE-BFC1-08002BE10318}

will always hold the information regarding modems. The key exists even if there aren't any modems attached to the computer.

I don't remember the exact location in the registry under Win9x/ME...it isn't the same key as WinNT/2K/XP but the theory is the same. The only difference is that instead of cryptic-looking strings (actually ClassIDs) the names of the hardware can be used.
