You didn't specify so I will assume that you are using VMware's VDM product as your connection broker. When installation of the client occurs from the web interface the USB drivers are not installed so there is no devices tab available on the toolbar. The USB redirection piece of VDM is support over WebAccess so all you need to do is remove the current VDMclient installed on your home PC and download the vdmclient.exe from VMware and install it with the USB drivers. After that your devices option should show up when connecting from your home PC. Hope this help and let me know how it turns out.
