How Do I Find the VID/PID (Vendor ID/Product ID) for my USB-connected reader?

Answer:

1. Open the Windows Device Manager

2. Expand the Human Interface Devices node.

3. Double-click the device of interest -- the USB Human Interface Device Properties window appears.

   
   
   

4. Click the Details tab

5. In the Property drop-down box, select Hardware Ids

The USB HID VID and PID are displayed.  My Cheeky USB Missile Launcher displays:
USB\VID_0ACD&PID_3810&REV_0001
The hexadecimal Vendor ID is highlighted in red, the Product ID in green, and the product revision number in blue.
