Here is a batch file that can enable/disable a device. You invoke it with a
parameter of "enable" or "disable".
@echo off
if /i "%1"=="enable" goto start
if /i "%1"=="disable" goto start
goto :eof
:Start
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
set Desc=Name: USB Mass Storage Device
set HWID=x
set count=0
set found=no
devcon hwids "usb\vid*" > c:\usb.txt
for /F "tokens=*" %%* in (c:\usb.txt) do (
set /a count=!count! + 1
if /i "%%*"=="%Desc%" set found=yes& set count=1
if !found!==yes if !count!==4 set HWID=%%*
)
echo HWID=!HWID!
devcon %1 "!HWID!"
endlocal
del c:\usb.txt
By setting Desc=Name: USB Mass Storage Device in the batch file, it will
enable/disable a USB-connected disk. Your challenge is to find the
appropriate description for your wireless dongle. You can do it like so:
- Execute these commands from a Command Prompt:
devcon hwids "usb\vid*" > c:\usb.txt
notepad c:\usb.txt
- Look for an identifier for your dongle.
You can download devcon.exe from here:
