[Elecraft] Windows 7 configuration to allow seven USB 2.0 devices to work together in a multitasking enviorment?

Hi,

What do you wish the utility to do?
I run 9 USB devices, three on a hub and 8 serial ports of a usb to serial port hub. In addition I have a number of virtual serial ports as well. Th only thing that's difficult is remembering what is connected to what!

I've been exploring choices for some kind of USB management program that will allow me easier monitoring of all the USB connectivity devices. Right now I get conflicting statements off the Windows 7 OS as it tries to deal with COM3, 4 and 5 together while the mouse and keyboard are attached via two other USB ports. This is a DELL I5 small desktop.

Oh yes, and I'm scared to death of on line free solutions that most often piggy back other stuff you don't want on to the computer. Yes, this OT wants to plug and play on the computer side so I can continue my focus on the application details.
