Solve : CMD MODE vs Device Manager show different values?

1.	Solve : CMD MODE vs Device Manager show different values?
Answer» I have a question regarding the command MODE and setting COM port SETTINGS and the VALUES displayed via device MANAGER and the registry (which are not consistent)?! When I type MODE COM1 it shows the values, but these values do not match what I see in device manager or the following registry key (HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Ports). If I TRY setting the COM1 values via "MODE COM1:115200,N,8,1,P" it shows those changes when I type MODE COM1 but device manager and the registry key show the original values. If I change the COM port settings in device manager the registry gets updated but MODE COM1 doesn't reflect those changed values. -- Can anyone explain this and if using MODE COM1:xxxxxx is valid? (I'm testing on Windows XP, Windows 2003, Windows 7) Thanks in advance!
