Com Port Advanced Settings

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



Hello,

I have a user that requires changes to the Com Port Advanced Properties
(Device Mgr>>Ports>>Com1>>Properties>>Port Settings>>Advanced). The next
thing I see is the message "You must have write privileges in the registry
for this device in order to modify the devices advanced settings". This is
being attempted from an admin-level local user account, so it is unclear
where these privileges would originate other than Administrator-level
permissions. This appears to be a default setting as it is the same on every
one of several PCs I have looked at in researching this up to this point. I
have also looked at the registry for any clues, but hate to rummage through
there more than necessary. Has anyone had occasion to modify these settings
and how did you do it?

TIA
