The post also provided a link to download USB View from the Future Technology Devices International Web site. Searching for USB View turned up a discussion in the Windows 7 Hardware Compatibility TechNet forum where someone suggested using Microsoft’s USB View as a troubleshooting aid for USB problems in Windows 7. While I did find a link to an old document concerning the Windows 98 USB Viewer utility, I also found a mention of a newer version for Windows XP called USB View. So I typed USB Viewer in the Bing box and clicked the Search button. However, while I was looking through the list of utilities on the Sysinternals site, I recalled a Windows 98 Resource Kit utility called USB Viewer and wondered if Microsoft had ever updated that tool. I was sure there had to be a better tool out there and started looking into Microsoft’s Windows Sysinternals site, but I didn’t immediately see anything that specifically mentioned USB.

And while this tool does provide a great way to identify USB details for the devices connected to a PC and allowed me to specifically identify what device was connected to what port, I still wanted more detailed information about all the USB connections inside the PC. I then remembered seeing USB port information in Windows 7’s Devices and Printers tool. With that picture in mind, I was sure that Device Manager would help me pull it all together. I started out by looking at the physical USB ports on the computer and following the cables to the connected device just to get a general overview. I recently found myself on a USB troubleshooting expedition and needed to be able to get a visual image of what device was connected to what USB hub number and port number.
