I don't see how this could happen. Windows will store the USB/drive 
enumeration in registry. If the USB device is not unplugged  before 
Windows shutdown, the enumeration stays in registry, which is always 
read on loading before USB ports are queried.

Unless the FTDI chip changes it's PID/VID with a power reset.

One of my programmers uses the FTDI and it survives it's assigned COM 
6 allocation after a power down, though this uses the VCP driver.
