If you plug your USB flash drive into your laptop before booting/powering it up, you might regret it.
Apparently, some OS configurations actually might try to boot from the flash drive, the same way a desktop machine will usually try to boot from a CD if one was left in the drive when it was shut down.
Of course booting from the flash drive won't succeed.
If you're loading something from your flash drive, just wait until your desktop is showing before you connect it.
You can plug in your USB mouse before booting, though. Even a laptop is smart enough to know it can't boot from a mouse.
