Hi

I've been playing around with various Bluetooth phones and devices and
now my Com Ports are numbered up to 58...

Is there any way I can reset the numbering, so I can install just the
devices I need and have then numbered Com1, Com2 etc.. ??

Thanks

Go to a command prompt and type these two commands:

SET DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1
devmgmt.msc

Device Manager will start. In Device Manager, click "View" and select
"Show Hidden Devices". Your ghost com ports will now be visible, and
can be removed normally.
