Hi Roger,
There is a registry entry in Windoz that remembers the driver location per USB device.
But, it has to have seen the device
at least 1 time on that port to remember it.
When I get a new device, I take time to plug into every USB port. Takes a while, but you only do it once. 3 Laptop & 7 Hub ports later...
