I sometimes get a caption in the tray that one of my usb devices is not
working. I don't want to be reminded of this. How do I stop this alert
from coming up ?

Follow these steps (you will not be alerted of any USB error):

1. Open Start, Run, type (without quotes) 'devmgmt.msc' and click OK.
2. Expand Universal Serial Bus controllers.
3. Double-click your USB controller.
4. Select the Advanced tab.
5. Check the box 'Don't tell me about USB errors'.

Will this also stop the adverts about USB2 that appear when you plug a
USB2 device into a USB1 port ?
