Enable/Disable device from batch

I would like to know if it's possible to enable/disable a device from a batch file or a C program on W2K. If yes, which command to use. I looked everywhere and the only way I found to enable/disable a device, is to use the device manager. I would like a way to do it automaticaly, without any user.

if you want it automaticly you can save two hardware profiles and choose them like you would multi boot before win2k starts. see hardware profiles in windows help, it will have details on how to do this.
