Re: Does anyone know a script to disable a device in Windows XP?

["Corey LeBleu" <coreylebleu () hotmail com>]

My co-worker tried disabling it through device manager and it doesn't seem 
to stay in the image (using Ghost). He has been able to disable the service, 
but he wants the device not to show in the toolbar for the end-users. Is 
there any way to automate this process and not have to manually do it on 
each machine?

Regards,
Corey
