525266 2007-02-16 21:19:00 Is it usual for a small power charge to go to USBs when the system shuts down?

My wireless keyboard/mouse shows a charge when I close down and I find it necessary to turn the power switch to the PC off to eradicte the LED light.

Any advice appreciated.

The thought behind it was to enable USB devices to "wakeup" the computer if off or in standby. Most users don't use the facility and in most cases it can be turned off with a setting in the BIOS. Check out your motherboard book or trawl through the BIOS for that setting. pheonix (36)
