'Vendor Name' And 'Product Name' Columns
Starting from version 1.35, you can view the vendor name and product name of your USB devices. In order to use this feature, you have to download the USB ID's list of Stephen J. Gowdy (http://www.linux-usb.org/usb.ids) and put the file in the same folder of USBDeview.exe
The name of the file must remain as 'usb.ids'.

Speed Test for USB Flash Drives
Starting from version 1.40, USBDeview allows you to test the read/write speed of your USB flash drive. The test is made by writing a large file (named $speed_test_nirsoft$.dat) into your USB flash drive, and then reading it back for testing the read speed. Be aware that you need at least 100 MB of free disk space in order to successfully make this speed test. Also, be aware that this test is made with sequential read and write operations. When using multiple small files, the read/write performances are usually much lower than sequential read/write.

In order to make a speed test to your flash drive, simply select the desired item in the main window, and then choose the 'Speed Test' option from the File menu, or press Ctrl+T. In the speed test window, verify that the selected drive letter is the right one, and then press the 'Start Test' button. Wait a few seconds until the write and read tests are finished.

Publishing Your Speed Test Result
If you want to share your speed test results, so other people that want to purchase a USB flash drive will be able to easily compare the speed of different flash drives, you can use the 'Publish Test Result' option to do that.

When you successfully finish a speed test, the 'Publish Test Result' button is automatically enabled. Clicking this button opens a new window that displays all the data that will be sent to https://usbspeed.nirsoft.net/ Web site, and ask you the confirm the speed test publishing. Be aware that only the data displayed in this window is transmitted to https://usbspeed.nirsoft.net/ Web site. USBDeview doesn't send the serial number of your USB device or any other information that may violate your privacy.

AutoPlay
Starting from version 1.10, USBDeview allows you to automatically run a file on USB flash memory devices, according to AutoRun.inf filename. You can manually activate the AutoPlay feature by selecting the desired device and pressing F8. Alternatively, You can check the "AutoPlay When Device Is Connected" option, and then the AutoPlay feature will be automatically activated when you insert a USB flash memory device.
Be aware that this feature only works if USBDeview detects the drive letter of the device.

Execute a command when you insert a USB device
Starting from version 1.10, USBDeview allows you to execute a command from exe/cmd/bat file in every time that insert a USB device to your system. In order to use this feature, go to 'Options->Advanced Options', select the 'Execute..' check-box, and type the exe/cmd file that you want to run. You can also use the following special variables in this command string: %device_name%, %device_desc%, %drive%, %serial_number%, %vid%, %pid%, %vid_hex%, %pid_hex% , %device_type%, %service_name%, %device_class%, %device_mfg%
USBDeview will automatically replace these variables with the appropriate data of the device that you inserted. For example, if you want to pass to your exe file 2 parameters - the serial number of the device, and the drive letter:
c:\temp\test.exe "%serial_number%" "%drive%"

Known Limitations/Issues
  • For all devices except 'Mass Storage' Devices: If you plug a device to one USB port, and then you plug the same device to another USB port, a new record of the same device will be created for each USB port that you plug. So if you see multiple lines for exactly the same device, it means that you plugged it to different USB ports. The USB ports that you plugged are specified in 'Hub/Port' column.
    However, for 'Mass Storage' device, only one record is created for each device, even if you plug it to different USB port.
  • When a USB device is added/removed on your local computer, USBDeview utility automatically updates the list of USB devices.
    But... If you USBDeview is connected to a remote computer, the list won't refresh automatically when a device is added or removed. You must refresh it manually, by pressing F5 key.


Connecting To Remote Computer
The following command-line options allows you to connect to remote computers. You must login to the remote computer with admin user in order to use these options.

/remote <\\Computer Name>
Allows you to connect a single remote computer.
For Example:
USBDeview.exe /remote \\MyComp
/remotefile <Computers List File>
Allows you to connect multiple computers, and view all their USB activity in one window. The computers list file should be a simple Ascii text file with computer names separated by colon, semicolon, space, tab characters or CRLF.
For Example:
USBDeview.exe /remotefile "c:\temp\comp.txt"

In order to successfully get full admin access to the remote computer, read this Blog post: How to connect a remote Windows 7/Vista/XP computer with NirSoft utilities.

Connecting To external SYSTEM registry file
If you have the 'SYSTEM' registry file of external operating system, you can use the following command-line option to read the USB devices list from it:
/regfile <SYSTEM Registry File>

For Example:
USBDeview.exe /regfile "c:\temp
egfiles\SYSTEM"
USBDeview.exe /regfile "d:\windows\system32\config\SYSTEM"

This option has some limitations:

You cannot read a Registry file of Windows XP/2003/Vista from Windows 2000 Machine.
USBDeview works in read-only mode. (You cannot uninstall a device from external file)

Stop/Disconnect Command-Line Options
/stop {/showmsg} {\\RemoteComputer} <Device Name>
Stop/disconnect a USB device by specifying its name or description.
You don't have to specify the whole name or description. You can also specify only a part of the name or description string, and USBDeview will identify it. For example, If the device name is 'Kingston DataTraveler 2.0', you can simply put 'kingston' or 'DataTraveler' in the device name parameter, and USBDeview will disconnect the right device. You can also specify the instance ID string of the device.
If you want that a message/balloon will be displayed after the device is disconnected, add the '/showmsg' parameter. (Windows 2000 displays a message-box, Windows XP displays a balloon)
If you want to disconnect a device in a remote computer, specify the remote computer name, with \\ prefix. You must login to the remote computer with admin rights in order to do that.
Examples:
USBDeview.exe /stop /showmsg "DVD RW"
USBDeview.exe /stop "DataTraveler"
USBDeview.exe /stop \\comp01 "SanDisk Cruzer"
