Easy..

plug in the USB-Serial adapter.
then, Control Panel | System | Hardware | Device manager | Ports (COM
& LPT) ... find the COm Port being used by your USB dongle, right
click it and select Properties.
Select the Port Settings Tab, followed by the Advanced button, now
change the Com port number to something sensible (1-4) and save your
changes.

enjoy.
