Preventing PnP discovery on com port

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

We have an 'intelligent' UPS attached to our device on a serial port but
we're not using the application or driver. Each time we boot the 'found new
hardware' wizard comes up for that device. Is there any registry setting or
something we can change to eliminate the discovery but just on that one
serial port? Thanks!
