Just look for the DeviceInstanceID in the details tab of the device properties. USB devices will start with USB\VID_???? the question marks represent the manufacturer's VendorID. Unfortunately I don't know of any publicly available list of VendorIDs

There are quite a lot of them, I can recommend these two:

just what you need:

CHECKUDISK v5.0

If you want to retrieve all the Vid&Pid ever mounted from the Registry, you could use my small batch files:

P.S.:

Unfortunately I don't know of any publicly available list of VendorIDs

There is this "unofficial" list:
