-The "usbser.sys" file comes with various versions of Windows.
-For example, it can be found on Windows XP typically in
-
- C:\WINDOWS\Driver Cache\i386\driver.cab
-
-Or it can be found on the Windows 98SE CD in the "win98" folder
-in the "DRIVER11.CAB" through "DRIVER20.CAB" cab files. You will
-need the DOS "expand" program, the Cygwin "cabextract" program, or
-a similar program to unpack these cab files and extract "usbser.sys".

-For example, to extract "usbser.sys" into the current directory
-on Windows XP, open a DOS window and run a command like
-
- expand C:\WINDOWS\Driver~1\i386\driver.cab -F:usbser.sys .
