DriveCleanup v1.6.1
DriveCleanup v1.6.1
DriveCleanup is a command line tool which does what you could do manually in the Windows Device Manager. It removes all currently non-present USB Storage Devices, Disks, CDROMs, Floppies, Storage Volumes and WPD devices from the device tree. Furthermore it removes orphaned registry items related to these device types.
Started with parameter -T (like test) it shows which devices it would remove.
DriveCleanup -T
Started with admin privileges and without a parameter it does its job without further inquiry.
To remove certain types of devices there are the parameters -U -D -C -F -V -W and -R, see DeviceCleanup.txt.
Sample to remove abandoned registry entries only:
drivecleanup -R
Under x64 editions of Windows only the included x64 version works.
Admin privileges are required for actual cleanup, without it requests to switch into the test mode.
Since V1.0 it removes non-USB drives if they have a removal policy > 1 (EXPECT_ORDERLY_REMOVAL or EXPECT_SURPRISE_REMOVAL).
When started standalone it waits for a keystroke at the end. This can be skipped by param -n or by starting it minimized or hidden.

USB Device Tree Viewer v3.3.2
USB Device Tree Viewer v3.3.2
The USB Device Tree Viewer, short UsbTreeView is based upon the Microsoft "USBView" sample application found in the Windows Driver Development Kits and now standalone here: USBView sample application
But it is source code only, there is no executable for end users provided. Meanwhile USBView comes as executables as part of the "Debugging Tools für Windows", see here: USBView.
UsbTreeView started with the USBView source code from the DDK for Server 2003. Here are the improvements I've done:
TreeView with handmade 16x16 icons, USBView used 32x32 icons scaled down to 15x15
Informations from the Windows Device Management are collected and matched with the found USB devices; Therefore UsbTreeView can show the child devices, including drive letters and COM-ports
Window position is saved
Background color and font of the right pane can be set (the font shown in the screenshots is DOSLike 7)
Text output rearranged
Keeps the tree item selection over refresh
Some more descriptors are decoded
Hexdump of the descriptors can be shown
Safe removal, device restart and port restart
Extended USB information available under Windows 8 (taken from the latest USBView sample application)
Extended information about host controllers
Enumeration of the USB devices accelerated and independent from the treeview
Failed USB requests are re-tried in the background, e.g. if a USB mouse was moved while requesting its properties
Toolbar with jump-lists for easily finding devices in complex trees
many minor improvements
Todo:
USB Video Class H.264 information
Maybe Unicode support

V3.3.2
