Using Visual Basic, how do you programmatically Disable/Enable (Windows Device Manager) a USB Flash Drive
Under Windows XP, after files are read once from the USB flash drive, they are in Cache on the computer. Subsequent reads retrieve the file that is in cache. I want to be able to programmatically (with Visual Basic), physically re-read a file off the flash drive without having to eject and re-insert the USB flash drive. In Windows Device Manager, if you Disable/Enable the USB drive, Windows will re-read the file system. A subsequent file read retrieve's a file from the flash drive. With Visual Basic, can you programatically do a Device Manager Disable/Enable?

Visual Basic Classic
Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
