Tim, Thanks for looking into this. I found a command line program (devcon, available from MS Knowledge Base article 311272 - http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q311272) which allows you to disable/remove/etc USB devices. But a few experiments made me realise that there's more to it than a simple "unplug" command - I managed to get all sorts of odd effects (drive "ejected" but still "plugged", through to the driver reinstalling itself when I inserted the drive again). I suspect that it's too easy to get things in a nasty state. So I'm sticking with a manual click on the tray icon, as the only way I'm not scared of, for now :-) Thanks for the help in any case, Paul. _______________________________________________ Python-win32 mailing list Python-win32@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-win32
