Let me try to explain a little why I am trying to do what I want to do. There is a gaming product on the market, R100 racing wheel. This device does not work well with windows 200 and windows XP. (Manufactures web sit confirms this). However, if you connect the wheel, disable the device and re-enable the device, the wheel functions. I want to write a small app that will perform this function rather than going to the control panel to do this. Rebooting the machine should not be required to affect the change.
