More on "Ghost Controller"

I've been having problems ith a "Ghost Controller", that is a controller that is defined in the "Standard" controller file as a 3 axis 9 button Joystick"  but has no physical existence.

I have tried deleting the "Standard" file and then running FSX to get the file created anew, and hopefully as there is no physical  "3 Axis 9 Button Joystick" then it should not appear in the "Standard" file of controls. Unfortunately this doesn't work. The file is recreated but also includes the "3 axis 9 button Joystick" which shouldn't have been recreated, but has. So I am back to where I started from!

The only thing that I have found by digging around is that the Controller for the X-Box is also called a "3 axis 9 button Joystick". I also know that the last time my computer was in the repair shop, the owner who is a MS tester for the new Flight Simulater, used it to test the new new simulator. I don't know what controllers he used but if he used an X-Box then there is the possibility that the reference to the "3 axis 9 button Joystick" was buried into the computers software, or on a disk or whatever and this information is being used to recreate this controller though one does not exist physically. This is, of course, at the moment purely theoretical, but something is recreating a controller that doesn't exist and putting an entry into the "Standard" file. I don't have the knowledge of how the Standard file is created but if someone in Avsim knows something about this I would appreciate their help.

I've just bought the latest version of EZYDOK but have not been able to do more than fiddle around with it due to the above problem and I would dearly like to be able to fly to really test it out.

Thanks in advance for any help/advice etc that anyone can offer.
