USB port numbers

XP has a habit of remembering which com port numbers have been used before to other devices in the past. This leads to funny situations where com port numbers that are allocated to a new device seem to be high in number (sometimes greater than 20, very often greater than 10).

Is there a registry fix to force the operating system to cancel port numbers where devices are no longer detected, thus enabling new allocations to be in a sensible range of numbers

thanks for any help
joe
