Manually remove local port
Hey Yall I posted this over at annoyances, and had a few responses, but nothing that actually worked. I was hoping that maybe I would get a few more responses over here. I have a Vista Home box that had a printer setup on \\Server\Printer. The printer was removed, and now when I try to re-add the printer, the port is not listed. I go thru add local port, type in \\Server\Printer and I get a message that says: Local Port Port \\Server\Printer already exists. I remember in XP and 2K, there was a reg key that held these ports, but I am unable to find anything like that in Vista. Anyone got any ideas of how to get rid of the port that doesnt seem to exist? Thanks Greg -- desertdude55

Manually remove local port
Hi,
I had the same problem, but I looked it up and I fond it  Go in Control Panel - Printers - and right click in a white area - Run as administrator - Server Properties - and under the Ports tab you should find the port you don't want and .... delete Cheers "desertdude55" wrote: Hey Yall I posted this over at annoyances, and had a few responses, but nothing that actually worked.

Thanks Integral007, but I have already tried that. The port doesnt appear there either.

Well after many hours I have finally figured out where they stashed the com ports in Vista... Regedit.... User Software Micro, Wind NT Local "" "" "" You will find ports and Printer.
