I apologize for the "look at" response but it should help:

The windows port isn't fully complete, but it appears to provide
access to the configuration parameters of the device:

Your original post didn't specify what language you are using (though
I assume you were using C++ because you were referencing MSDN docs),
so if you can't use Java, sorry to waste your time.
Hope that helps,

First off, I wanted to thank everyone for their responses...I received many,
but unfortunately, it seems that no one has the specific information I'm
looking for.
To that end, I thought I'd narrow my question down a bit...a lot, actually.
USB devices have a descriptor (on Windows, a USB_DEVICE_DESCRIPTOR structure)
that contains values called "idProduct", "idVendor", and
"iSerialNumber"...this last value is an index, not the actual serial number.
Now, Linux has a program called 'lsusb', and if the '-vv' switch is used, the
actual string containing the serial number is returned.
Is there a similar program for Windows? I've taken a look at devcon.exe, but
haven't found anything in particular yet. Perhaps the question should be,
"is there a program for Windows that will display the idProduct and idVendor
values, and the actual iSerialNumber string, similar to what lsusb does for
Linux?"
An alternate question is, what API calls (DeviceIOControl() ???) would be
used to get this? If I know the API calls and the order, I may be able to
put something together. Please, no "look at" responses...if you know, you
know...and if you don't, please don't bother.
Thanks, your input/effort is appreciated.
