Here's a skill testing question. For whatever reason, let's say I uncheck the check marks in the USB Root Hub (in Device Manager). I reboot, but they're right back there.

Let's reverse the scenario ... let's say they're presently empty and I go to put the check marks in there. Upon rebooting, they are not there.

How can one save it so these will remain the same upon reboot?

Hi Ripsnort (interesting name),
check out the following web page which should sort your peoblems for you..:
The "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power" power management option for a USB Root Hub does not remain selected after you restart Windows Vista
