    How do you personally disable the smart card reader? I have a smart card but I am not that much into that level of security.

    I basically right click the USB manager on the bottom right of the screen and 'stop it'. I haven't noticed a difference in battery life as was touted with 'usb devices' being plugged into the machine. :confused:
