You don't really need to change them back. Legacy USB support is for
keyboard/mouse mainly in dos..
telling your computer to boot from the hard disk before a removable drive is
probably better. So i think you're all good...

Thank you.
We are using a (Gateway) notebook (WinXPsp2) with an external USB Gateway
keyboard with a USB mouse plugged into the back of the the keyboard's USB
port. It seems to be working as usual. I was just wondering if it would be
afected since you mention "Legacy USB support is for keyboard/mouse mainly in
DOS..."
Should I be concerned?
Thank you.

Thanks for the reply.
No you shouldn't be concerned, legacy support is disabled by default on all
new systems and i've never needed to enable it so far.
