Is there a way to disable my wireless LAN device (rtl8180) by a batch file or something like this. The "sc" command wouldn't do it, because the driver doesn't accept pausing nor stopping. But the "disable" button of the windows menu stops this driver anyway. Can I do that automatically logging in as administrator and enabeling it again by logging off. Would be just great. Thanks. AA

I believe you could use the netsh command to disable a NIC in a batch file.

Thanks! I never got into that netsh stuff. The thing is the Help Center doesn't really list the netsh interface simple level. So I had to check out the commands using the command line help. But wors fine T=thanks a lot. o finish up this mini thread here the batch files I made up: echo off msg * "Your Internet connection has been disabled" netsh interface set interface "Wireless Network Connection" Disable To enable the device substitute Disable with Enable. To do that automatically at logoff I put the enable script into the logoff section of the Group Policy. So it runs at logoff of every user. I couldn't find a way to run a logoff script just for one user. AA
