Well, the code i posted was of a "quick and dirty" kind.

>It is also possible to enable later the same drive (or a drive)
if I understood correctly, you mean the same drive-letter. my answer is: I dont know if this is possible, but i think that Windows "remember" the previous used drive-letter for a removable drive and try to give the same letter unless it is already occupied.

>How to become disconnect a map network drive
hmm, I guess that if the disk is mapped to a letter, the function should be able to eject it. otherwise maybe the UNC name of the drive must be used. you have to test it!

> How to become enable it
if you mean how to re-enable it without take it out and re-insert, this need further investigation. I will try to find a way, if time permits.. (or maybe some other guy here could help it.)

Pete

I am sorry for the delayed post, i am home with a bad cold.

@Pete
Thanks a lot Pete! It also works flawlessly at windows 10. It doesn't work on Windows Server 2012, but maybe it is something permission-related.
I will test it some more and then i will post back.

@Grigory
Thanks a lot Grigory!

Everyone's help is much appreciated once more.Thanks a lot to all of you.

Very good!

[quartz565]

Hi Pete thank you,
As the Vagelis already has written, It doesn't work on Windows Server 2012 at any hard drive (usb or sata).
The only thing it does, if you select a DVD drive letter the program ejects the drive without disabling it.

do you think there is any solution, any ideas?
