USB History GUI Description

USB History GUI is a tiny and portable application that reveals some technical details on the history of your USB ports, as the name implies. In other words, you can find out what types of USB flash drives have been recently plugged into your computer. This tool can be very helpful when sharing your PC with multiple users, if you want to keep track of their activity and scan your system for malware agents. Since installation is not required, you can simply drop USB History GUI on any location on the hard drive and run it. Alternatively, you can save it to an external drive or similar storage unit, and run in on any computer. What must be mentioned is the fact that Windows Registry does not receive updates (thus, minimizing the risk of system failure), and no files are left behind on the hard drive after program removal. Plus, you can keep USB History GUI in your pocket whenever you're on the move. In order to run this app, you must have administrative rights. Its interface is based on a common window and uncomplicated layout. After a brief analysis on the USB ports, USB History GUI reveals the name of the USB flash drives, together with the instance ID number, parent ID prefix, driver number, disk timestamp and volume stamp. Unfortunately, the tool does not provide the option to export these details to an external file or to just copy them to the Clipboard. However, you can use the traditional way, by selecting all text and copying it via the context menu or global hotkey. USB History GUI is not a concern to the computer's overall performance, since it needs a low amount of CPU and system memory to work properly. We haven't come across any issues during our tests, as the app did not hang, crash or pop up error dialogs. All in all, USB History GUI can be quite useful when you want to find out what USB flash drives have been plugged into your computer and at what time.
