   This is indeed a registry setting under current version\Windows\Device. For   
   example, on W2K, this is at   
   HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows   
   NT\CurrentVersion\Windows\Device   
   Just watch the rest of it, for example, the spooler and the port is also   
   recorded.   
   I strongly recommend *against* dinkin' around with this..
