Where is XPh PORT DATA kept ? - can't Delete Ports
Problem gone:
....I don't really know how, as it has been persistent for weeks. I added "appropriate" entries (guessing NE5 and NE6 values in some of these entries) for just TWO of my remote printer items. My intention was to then re-boot and go for the delete using Port tab of the dialogue. Bizarrly, all the references I didn't want disappeared both in this table and in the registry. Maybe there is some stange cache and I'd tried to delete them all (???) and it had remembered this with some flag setting - or the act of tidying up one set of entries enabled the rest of the code to recover and complete its actions. FYI (incomplete set specified in original posting) These were all the place in the registry I changed (don't ask me what all that "S-1-5-19"-type stuff is!) HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\PrinterPorts HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Devices HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\PrinterPorts HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-19\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Devices HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-19\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\PrinterPorts HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-20\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Devices HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-20\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\PrinterPorts HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-... {censored}..\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Devices |
