Hi,
Since you are using a wireless mouse, you must be having a PS2 plug, Use it since you are leaving it idle and it cant be used for anything else. Use the USB Ports for other items.
Even i am using Microsoft Wireless Explorer and it works perfectly without giving problems. It is attached to the PS2 port.

My wireless mouse won't let my windows xp home computer shutdown or reboot properly it just hangs on the windows shutdown screen. I have to hold the power button in to shut it down. When i plug in my wired mouse in to the mouse port the computer shuts down fine. The wireless mouse is plugged into my usb port.
