Go to the "Devices" menu item, then click on the small triangle to  
open the extra menu and select "All Templates" from the drop-down menu  
called "More"... you'll get a listing of all templates including their  
definition path etc.

Just look at the definition path - it'll tell you for which devices  
the template is being used.
