Sample Code:

    //
    //Name:     ChangeIt
    //Inputs:   pointer to hdev, SP_DEV_INFO, bool
    //Outputs:  bool
    //Errors:   This method may throw the following exceptions.
    //      Unable to change device state!
    //Remarks:  Attempts to enable or disable a device driver.  
    //      IMPORTANT NOTE!!!   This code currently does not check the reboot flag.
    //      =================   Some devices require you reboot the OS for the change
    //                  to take affect.  If this describes your device, you
    //                  will need to look at the SDK call:
    //                  SetupDiGetDeviceInstallParams.  You can call it
    //                  directly after ChangeIt to see whether or not you need
    //                  to reboot the OS for you change to go into effect.
