This will get rid of the conflict but it won't get rid of the ghost
COM port. Let me quote the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

"When Windows 95 starts, it examines the resources supplied by your
computer and activates them as needed. Windows 95 detects Plug and
Play devices regardless of the CMOS settings...To prevent Windows 95
from activating disabled hardware, you must disable the hardware in
the computer's CMOS settings and remove it from the current
configuration in Windows 95. This frees the device's resources for
other devices to use." See "Resources for Disabled Devices Not Freed Up"
