Go ahead and select a port that is '(in use)' like COM4. I wouldn't
select COM1 or COM2 if they physically exist on the computer as
hardware serial ports or internal modems. Up comes a dialog
complaining about the conflict. Click on Yes to confirm your choice
to hose your system.

Then close things out and reboot. The USB port will be reassigned
when Windows restarts.

I know this works because I just changed a USB->Serial adapter on
COM13 to COM4 which was in use but not connected.

With Hyperterminal, the USB->Serial adapters don't always connect on
the first time HT is started. It isn't unusual for me to have to
close the instance and start it over.
