Is there a method for determining the speed of a USB port on a Windows XP PC, without using a USB protocol analyzer?

I'm looking for something simple, such as looking at the Device Manager.

I would like to hook up some USB equipment to a USB 2.0 port, rather than the slower USB 1.0 or 1.1.

Under the "Device Manager\Universal Serial Bus controllers" the USB2 controllers often contain "USB2" in their name (or "Enhanced Host Controller").

Otherwise the quickest way is often to just plug in a USB 2.0 device, and if Windows tells you it could work faster in a USB 2.0 port, then you're plugging into a 1.1 port. :)
