start & stop wireless usb via the scheduler?

[mikesw]

I'd like to do the following.

a). I'd like the wireless USB device I have plugged in to the computer

to be controlable by having the win2k scheduler initiate the recognition

of the device whereby the wireless driver will initiate the link to the router.

b ). run another program under scheduler control after a few minutes assuming

that the wireless device established the link to the wireless router.

c). after a period of time, the scheduled program would stop.

d). after stopping the program, the scheduler will stop the wireless device

so that the connection is broken.

e). repeat steps (a-d) some time later (probably the next day).

Is there a program that allows me turn on and off the [any] USB device besides

wireless as if I was there to remove and plug it in, but having to search for the device driver

that is already installed on the computer for it. Another possibility is to use a program to enable/disable

the device if power can't be shut off and started by a program while the device remains in the computer.

Hence, I don't want to have a wireless device sitting there being able to communicate while

the computer is idle after I ran the program I wanted to run.

Another question I have is how to have the program run under the user "SYSTEM" with or without a password

vs being tied to a user account or the admin account that needs a password. I see alot of other programs

i.e. antivirus programs don't require a user account or the admin one but uses "SYSTEM" instead or "NETWORK"?
