In a previous SO question, it was mentioned that USB devices can be mounted using the following approach in Windows: MOUNTVOL C:\USB: \\?\Volume{ebc79032-5270-11d8-a724-806d6172696f}\ My question is what is that String starting with \\?\Volume called, and what is the best way to retrieve that. I would rather not use .NET if possible si...

What I am trying to do is get the output from mountvol (even if I have to parse it from the command line), which gives me the list of drives with their GUID-like path (\\?\Volume{...}) and get the device information based on that path (is it a USB drive, VENDOR_ID, e...
I'm looking for a USB disk-on-key emulator to use in VMs running Windows XP/Vista. File transfer is pretty much all I need, but since it's going to be used to showcase another application, it needs to be as standard as possible (emulating real hardware disk-on-keys as closely as possible). Can you recommend any? EDIT: We use VMWare he...
I would like to power cycle an usb device through software on windows. I am doing development on a small usb power microcontroller.

Since my code will crash the device when things go wrong -- making it ignore all USB commands -- I have to physically ...

I recently was given a small USB flash drive as an advertising gimmick. When I plug it in, only one drive appears: a CD drive with 42kb used (just an autorun.inf file which launches the manufacturer's website).
