Ever week or two they reset the test machine's COM port number back to  
four,
but they keep blaming my hardware for causing the problem.  I just
let them keep doing, and not worry about, but I would like to
be able to stop it from happening on my development machine.
They don't allow anyone but themselves to have Administrator Rights.
Tough to develop Windows products that way. :-(

Does not mater, if it is not Windows to them it is nothing but a "Toy",
there is nothing but Windows in the world, not even Macs... :-<
