I imagine this has been asked before. I did search before I posted this, both the MS KB, and Googled it. MS KB no help at all (big surprise), and the Google results were all 1-2 years old.
The best anyone came up w/is going into Vista Services, and individually disabling a Service for a logon profile. This is ridiculous, and I'm wondering if, in the intervening time, anyone has come up w/anything better. Losing the ability to create individual hardware profiles like in XP is absurd.
What I found people asking, is basically exactly what I want to do: keep my main profile for day-to-day work, and create a separate hardware profile just for all the spiffy new gaming hardware (Logitech gaming keyboard and mouse, Fang gamepad, etc.).
The Logitech stuff usually gets along pretty well w/other hardware, but I have a MS Ergo keyboard, and MS keyboard/mouse software does not play well w/others. Also, that Fang gamepad has a major driver to use to customize the pad for different games, and I'll bet you a dollar it will hose things up if I use it on my main profile.
So what are people doing about this? (Besides cursing MS, I mean.)
