Turn off USB devices when off

Hi all.

I want to turn off all my USB devices when my computer is off, so I dont have the LED lights on.

I run win7 on a Zotac ION D motherboard.


Any help would be hot :)

Thanks

work around: buy a USB hub, plug usb devices into that HUB... when you're done with the computer, disconnect the HUB from computer.

Any devices that are USB powered should be no problem here - with those that have an external power source some LED is normal to show that power is available.

What you could look at is a "green" power strip, this will power off all devices attached to it when the master device, the PC, is not drawing current.

USB devices plugged into the computer will still draw from cmos battery

The device is an external IR reciever which I want to be off when the computer is off. Its only plugged into an USB-port, so the green strip isne an option. Neither is the USB hub, I want it to just power off automatically.

But thanks for the inputs!

not possible by default

Damn silly

One of These can be used to turn off powered peripherals when the computer shuts down.
