    Jimbo,

    Not sure if it will do what you need but NirSoft - freeware utilities: password recovery, system utilities, desktop utilities has View any installed/connected USB device on your system which may help.

    Note - A lot of AV suites don't like the Nirsoft stuff but I've been using them for years without issue

    Thanks - will try those later -- off to O2 though today to watch the Tennis Final (ATP finals London O2 arena).

    Cheers
