Here is a batch file that will let you do it:

@echo off

goto Start

-------------------------------------------------

Use this batch file to enable or disable a device

from the Command Prompt.

 

Prerequisite: c:\Windows\devcon.exe

 

16.4.2006 FNL

-------------------------------------------------

:Start

setlocal enabledelayedexpansion

set Device=ALi PCI to USB Open Host Controller

 

if /i "%1"=="enable" goto go

if /i "%1"=="disable" goto go

echo Syntax: Device enable / disable

goto :eof

 

:go

set HWID=x

set count=0

set found=no

 

devcon hwids "PCI\*" > device.txt

for /F "tokens=*" %%* in (device.txt) do (

set /a count=!count! + 1

if /i "%%*"=="Name: %Device%" set found=yes& set count=1

if !found!==yes if !count!==3 set HWID=%%*

)

if %found%==yes (

echo HWID=!HWID!

devcon.exe %1 "!HWID!"

) else (

echo Device "%Device%" not found.

)

endlocal

del device.txt

 

Instructions:

- Copy & paste these lines into c:\Windows\Device.bat

- Adjust Line 13 to reflect the name of your USB controller.

- Download devcon.exe and store it in c:\Windows

(http://download.microsoft.com/download/1/1/f/11f7dd10-272d-4cd2-896f-9ce67f3e0240/devcon.exe)

- Invoke the batch file in either of these modes:

Device enable

Device disable

The downloaded exe was a self extracting file.

Where should i put the extracted files?

=============

It does not matter in the least, as long as you follow my previous

instruction:

- Download devcon.exe and store it in c:\Windows.

I am getting an error "no device is disabled" at the end and the

device is not disabled.

 

but the line echo HWID=!HWID! is listing the right driver "pci\****"

I am getting an error "no device is disabled" at the end and the

device is not disabled.

 

but the line echo HWID=!HWID! is listing the right driver "pci\****"

=====================

 

Maybe the device you're trying to disable can't be disabled. You need to

explore this issue by using manual means, e.g. like so:

1. Open a Command Prompt.

2. Type these commands:

devcon hwids "PCI\*" > device.txt

notepad device.txt

3. Locate your device name.

4. Type this command:

devcon.exe disable xxx

where "xxx" is one of the several identifiers you find below the device name

in Step 3.
