Re: Is there a WMI class that has USB port names?

I want to open connect to a USB device via the CreateFile command. This

"\\.\Usbscan1". So far, I've got the Win32_PnPEntity of the device and
I'm looking up the port name in the "CreateFileName" value of the
registry key
"HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\%s\0001" where
%s is the ClassGuid of the device's Win32_PnPEntity object. It works,
but I'm wondering if there is a WMI class that has this information.
Thanks.
