I've got a Sansa Clip that recharges via USB. Problem is that it "connects" to the PC whenever I plug it in. I learned a trick where you pull the cable out of the PC partially such that the data leads are no longer connected but the power leads are.
However I am looking for a more permanent solution. How can I modify the cable itself such that only the power leads remain and it never transfers data?
(I have an extra cable, so it's OK.)

my first attempt at solving your problem would be to get some kapton (or other non-conductive) tape and just stick it on top of the traces in your USB plug.
