Once you’ve provided the computer name, click on the Start button and the history will be displayed in a few seconds. You will need to either specify your computer name manually or click on the browse button to select your computer from the list (it may take a few seconds). However, this will not work and you have to add your computer’s name. When you first run USB History Viewer, it will default the computer name to LOCALHOST. The tool is also portable so installation is not required. A possible advantage of USB History Viewer is it also supports other computers on the local network if you provide a valid authentication. USB History Viewer is a free tool that is designed to show the history of connected USB mass storage devices such as a flash drive or an external hard disk. Other useful functions include creating enable/disable device desktop shortcuts, changing drive letters, disconnecting all devices at once, reloading a USB hub, and viewing remote computer USB data. Uninstalling the device will clean up the traces so that it can be reinstalled. Right click on the problematic USB device and select “Uninstall Selected Devices”. USBDeview can also be used for troubleshooting USB connection problems. The dates are also available in the main window if you view/scroll to the right. Double click on a listed device to see the date and time of when it was first connected (Registry Time 2) and the last time it was connected (Registry Time 1) to the computer. If you want to look for connected USB flash drives or external hard drives, sort the list by the Device Type column and look for “Mass Storage” entries. Unlike the other tools listed here, USBDeView is still actively developed and updated with new functions and features still periodically being added. NitSoft’s USBDeview is a portable tool that offers tons of information on USB devices that are currently and previously connected to your computer.
