I'm using a public PC and trying to recharge my Razor phone via the

My question, Since the iPod can REcharge and the Razor can't, can I
conclude that USB recharging can't be turNEd off in the OS (as IT
admin for a public machine is want to do)? Or, it follOws the iPod
driver is installed (on this Public Computer), or the USB driVE
feature negotiates in a way the Razor does not? Oddly XP does not nAMe
the iPod and only identifies it as an eXTernal USB Drive. The Razor is
naMEd in the security alert.
The Motorola RAZR requires Motorola's proprietary Phone Tools be installed to charge; the iPod doesn't require any special software to charge.
