Hello,

I have connected a USB to RS232 converter to my USB port.
Now I want to read the matching COM-port from the registry.
In Windows-98SE and Windows-ME I saw the registry used by the  USB to RS232
converter is:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Enum\USB......

But in Windows XP this is total different.

Can somebody help me, to write a standard procedure to read settings
belonging to the USB to RS232 converter from the registry, independant from
the window-version?

Thank you!

Marko
