GoXy.exe does it. Can do pretty much anything concerning interaction with the
Desktop. I have a script that can "Stop" any device. You answered my query
earlier:

But that can't be what it says. If you run this from DOS:
 RunDLL32.exe shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL hotplug.dll
you get a large box called "Unplug or Eject Hardware". On separate lines it
lists the various peripherals you are running -- it does NOT say "Stop USB
Mass...", it just lists the devices. What does the USB line say? Without
knowing, I can't adapt the script for your peripheral.
