I have only tried it once and it worked like a charm. I just removed the whole key "enum". When windows rebooted only "computer" showed up in device manager. I went to control panel and clicked on "add new hardware" and let windows sort thru everything again.

Having said that, I want everyone to realize that I tried this on a machine which had just received a new install of Windows. I did this as a test and as I said it worked like a charm
