USB safe remove does not disable the USB port anymore

[Comos]

Hi,

was there also registry key on Win XP for the usb hub setting, that allow you to en/dis the usb port when save remove has been done or it was a default setting that can't be changed?

For Win Vista/Win7 etc, it's not a default behaviour and there was a extra reg key for that. On my main system with WinXP something got messed as it worked before, but now if I do usb safe remove on a usb stick, the LED remains on.

On another WinXP system, there it works as expected. I tried to compare both registry setting related to the usb hub, but can't find any discrepancy.

This registry fix is for Win Vista/Win7 etc. , not for WinXP

OK, figured it out.I had to remove it in device manager under usb bus, reboot and let the usb flash get installed again. Why it bugged like this , no idea.

That registry fix applies to XP too.
