USB2 Device Notification

[Fowkc]

Hello,

I've got a USB2 flash drive, and every time I plug it into my laptop,
XP brings up the "Hi-Speed Device Attached To non-Hi-Speed Hub" message
in the notification area. I know my laptop has no USB2 capability, and
I don't particularly need it to, I'd just like to get this warning to
go away before I try and kill the bottom-right hand corner of my
screen.

I'm guessing there might be something in the registry to tweak?

Thank in advance,

James Fowkes

This is a bit like overkill but how about this:

Disable Balloon Tips in Windows XP:

Then you won't get any balloon tips (those silly things should automatically
shut off after 30 days of use because by then you have probably seen them
all) at all.

From that ref:
"Note If you turn off this option, all other USB error messages are
also turned off."

Some of the error messages are helpful, such as exceeding current
capacity.

A "don't show this message again" tick box would do the biz for me.

Thanks, the Microsoft page sorted it. Yes, a "don't show me this again"
box would be good, since I'd like to know about actual USB errors. I
don't consider using a 2.0 device in a 1.1 port to be an error,
personally.
