What OS? Some win OS's allow you to remove what ever you want from the device manager and then on reboot will just redetect those devices properly...
I had a gravis gamepad USB that was redetected ever third or so boot. So after a week or to the machine had 30 gravis gamepad's attached to it, but I only owned one. So I just removed all of them and rebooted, and then for a while I only got one.
This process is not recomended for all things, and as DaiShan put it...
If it ain't brok don't fix it. ESPECIALLY when it regards a Microshaft product...
