Joystick priority in XP

I have a X36 Saitek USB joystick and a set of USB pedals.

However the pedals get set to first joystick, which means
some sims - e.g. Il2 and Battle of Britain have problems
as they consider the pedals as the main controller.

Is it possible to re-assign priorities as you could with
Win 98.

This would make life a whole lot easier.

Cheers

The only joystick ID that ever became important was ID1. If games have an ID
preference it is almost guarenteed to be ID1. To set a device to ID1 you can
set it as the "Prefered Device", all other devices will take the next higher
ID's. TO set your prefered device do the following:

1. Open the Gaming Options control panel.
2. Click the Advanced button.
3. Select the device you prefer in the drop down.
4. Click OK on the Advanced Settings dialog.
5. Click OK for the Gaming Options control panel.

Hope that helps.
