    Is there any advantage in disabling USB on a windows XP Pro Core 2 duo 2.2 gig with an Asus p5b-vm se mobo DAW?

    I read somewhere you can disable the 12 volt power to the USB ports on Win 7 and still use self powered units in the USB Ports is that possible on XP Pro?

    IF you Google-> disable usb ports
    you'll find tons of information....one of which is to go into device manager->Usb Controller section-> Right click on each port and select disable.

    But why disable them. They do not consume power until something is plugged into them. And you can also use powered usb devices in a powered usb port.

    Thanks for your replies. The consensus on all of my recording forums is; to leave them as Windows loads them.
