ABSTRACT:
A computer has a USB bus with at least two USB connectors for removable USB devices. When a removable USB device is connected to at least one of the connectors, conventional standard actions are auto-launched. However, when a removable USB device is connected to at least one special USB connector, no action is auto-launched, or some non-standard action is auto-launched. The special USB connector is designated as such by a configuration file stored by the computer, because neither the USB address and port number of the hub for the special connector, nor the USB address allocated to the removable USB device can simply be used for this purpose.
