When you unplug a device from your computer, Windows will remember it!

This can get annoying, cause device names to contain "#6" etc... To show hidden devices in device manager try the following in a command prompt:

> set devmgr_show_nonpresent_devices=1
> start "" DEVMGMT.MSC

Then click 'View', and 'Show Hidden Devices'. Source: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/269155
