Names or Labels to USB Hubs

Guest

Hi,
Xp Pro(and Vista Ultimate)Intel Dual Core 2 Giga memory.
I have 5 USB Hubs connected (USB 2) - Total 27 USB connection from Hubs and
4 on the Tower. According to the entire publications one computer can be
connected by chain to 127 USB connections. So that +- 20-31 Hubs.
The question how I can give a label or a name to each Hub?
If you connect storage (Disk on key, hard drive, and ctr.) each of the
component has a label on the time that connected.
But sometimes I receive error about USB hub and is a long story to find
which one is wrong.
In the device manager all of them the same name.
I wrote on all of them a special label and the same name on the USB cable.
But when I made the order of the appearance in the Device manager list the
order isn't fix it is changing all the time.
I possible to gave them a label that appearing in the Device Manager or any
another solution to solve the problem?

Thanks

MowGreen,
Thanks, the site is interesting indeed, but there is nothing about the tags
for the USB Hubs that recognized in Device Manager

Probably because you can't.

Oh, and responses go down HERE, not at the top.
