Have not had a need, but look at using powershell.<br />
Often, the tasks you perform withi device manager, there are powershell commands to do the same..

Arnold: The issue with powershell would be that the target is not consistent so I can't script anything for a one touch operation.<br><br>Dr. Klahn - Your experience sounds about right. &nbsp;I ran across this app over the weekend as well. I expected NirSoft to have one but he didn't. I was reluctant to try this one without hearing from some one else that had used it. I will try it today. You have our gratitude. :)&nbsp;<br><br>

You can script data pull, prompt user with choices, options...

<div>
With my skill level, scripting that kind of variability in PS would be difficult. If the other app doesn't work out, I will try that next. PS is terrific in what it can do, I just don't do anything with it often enough to be fluent.

Fluent? One learns as the need arises.

You have a valid point.&nbsp;

I am looking for a windows utility that will provide a fast way to change the assignment of various virtual and physical serial ports. device manager is cumbersome requiring far too many click to drill down through for a simple port number change. 
I deal in industrial controls and I have a bunch of serial software and dongles and they always seem to conflict when I haven't used on in a while. Yes its a simple act under Device manager but, like I say, I'm looking for a 2 click kind of solution.

Need Com port assignment widget besides Devicemanager

Software is any set of instructions that directs a computer to perform specific tasks or operations. Computer software consists of programs, libraries and related non-executable data (such as documentation). Computer software is non-tangible, contrasted with computer hardware, which is the physical component of computers. Software written in a machine language is known as "machine code". However, in practice, software is usually written in high-level programming languages than machine language. High-level languages are translated into machine language using a compiler or interpreter or a combination of the two.
