remove the controllers, and in the registry (iirc, been a while) hklm-system-current control set-enum-usb

Don't do that.

Bring up a command prompt. Type:

SET DEVMGR_SHOW_NONPRESENT_DEVICES=1
DEVMGMT.MSC

in the device manager window that opens, select 'show hidden devices' and uninstall the devices you don't want.

Oops, forgot to add, also select 'show hidden devices' when in devicemanager once you set that environment variable.

Enter this at a cmd prompt:

set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
start devmgmt.msc

Then in device manager view devices by connections.

Re:Good question and bump.

I've had issues in the past where a USB device would work in a port then stop working and never work there again. Plugging it to another port always worked but I don't like having to shuffle USB ports around just to get a problem device working again.
