This is all done within the registry and not a log file unless some third party 
synchronization software was used. There are unique descriptors created for 
each device that lists information like what kind of device it is, number of 
endpoints, etc.

You can read more about descriptors here:

http://www.beyondlogic.org/usbnutshell/usb5.htm

To get more information on the device itself, check out these keys:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MountPoints2\CPC\Volume
HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Enum\USBSTOR

To get more information on files check out the Most Recently Used (MRU) keys:

HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32\OpenSaveMRU
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\ComDlg32\LastVisitedMRU
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RunMRU

Also:
HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\RecentDocs

I would check these areas and see if any files match up to the location/device 
of the USB flash drive in question. Hopefully the ?clear list? feature isn?t 
selected for the recent opened documents. If so, it could clear the locations 
above.

Another area I would check is the information within the virtual memory, as 
well as the memory management key within the registry since it holds the 
virtual memory configuration:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management

Helpful tools:

UVCView

USB Vendor ID List:

USB Specification ? download the latest version. Check out section 9.5, 9.6, 
and 9.7 http://www.usb.org/developers/docs

As for the post about the DLT Service?. I believe that just monitors NTFS 
volumes and since most flash drives like USB drives are FAT32, I am not sure if 
the DLT client service will be much help. Still, maybe worth a look though.

Good luck!
