host wants string index 0xEE

PIC18F4553
Windows 7 64 bit
 
During enumeration, after sending cofig+interface+hid+endpoint descriptors, the host askes for a string descriptor with index 0xEE.
My cofig+interface+hid+endpoint descriptors do not specify any string index's, they are all zero.
 
I am completely stuck, any ideas or comments?
 
Thanks.

    the host askes for a string descriptor with index 0xEE

    It's a MS specific descriptor.

    Microsoft-Defined USB Descriptors

    Windows request it just once at the first plug-in of a USB device.
    You may return STALL to this request, as usual of not-supported request.
    Current OS versions don't provide so useful function over this descriptor (without any trick).

    Windows 8 makes this descriptor more usable one.

    Hello Tsuneo,
     
    Current OS versions don't provide so useful function over this descriptor (without any trick).

     
    I’m curious to know what the tricks are. Smile
    Because I have implemented the OS string in my little own USB stack.
    I return the string and Windows later on asks for the extended property descriptor.
    Which I return successfully too.
    The descriptor has an Icon, Label and the selective suspend section.
     
    But I cannot see any impact to the appearance of the USB device anywhere in Windows XP.
    I mean there is no different icon and no different name/label.
     
    Do I have to do something more or different?
     
    Thanks and regards
