I have been trying to get my PC working with a palm and have a conflict
between a USB bluetooth and the hot sync manager. As part of the
troubleshooting process, I uninstalled and reinstalled the software and
drivers several times. It turns out that bluetooth has captured a new com
port each time. In the registry, Com5 and Com10 are assigned to bluetooth
by:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class\…

Com6, Com8, Com9, Com 11 are assigned to bluetooth by:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Enum\BTHENUM\…

I am using XP Home so I cannot access ports through Device Manage (even by
selecting show all hidden devices and using different views).

Anyone know how to delete these port assignments?

watch for line wrap
