http://www.sysinternals.com

download "Windows Object Viewer" click ong "\\??" or "\\Global" Look for "COM1". It's a symbolic link to a device such as "\Device\Serial0".

A device driver installs itself on the system as "\device\whatever". Applications want to be abstracted from being tied to any one particular device so a common set of "dos device names" are created so the application only uses the common name, which in the background, can be serviced by any device. Your driver letters are all dos device names as well.
