What I do is almost exactly what you suggested, except that I perform a
second CreateFile() as shown above. Actually, the following happens:

Scenario 1:

     CreateFile for COM8
       Set baud rate to 9600
       OpenPort
       Try to find device -> fails, as expected
       Close Port
     CreateFile for COM8  => fails !!!


Scenario 2:

     CreateFile for COM8
       Set baud rate to 19200
       OpenPort
       Device Found ...
       Close Port


The second CreateFile on the same port seems to fail. However, if I stop 
the program's execution shortly, and then continue, everything works 
fine like this:

Scenario 3:

     CreateFile for COM8
       Set baud rate to 9600
       OpenPort
       Try to find device -> fails, as expected
       Close Port
     CreateFile for COM8  -> succeeds !!
       Set baud rate to 19200
       OpenPort
       Device Found ...
       Close Port


That's annoying !
