Long time no see guys. I'm having trouble coming up with a way to get this to work properly. So we have several Intermec CV60s on our forktrucks so our guys can scan in crap and move it around the warehouse or shipping. So sometimes these things lose settings that are required to be set. One of the settings is the 5v power on COM1. So I look around and find in HKLM CurrentControlSet and ControlSet001 the PWRCTL key, and in parameters I find the registry setting for power to the respective COM port. The prolbem is I can change the setting but the actual power on the COM port doesn't either turn on or off...
My question is, does anyone know of a way to force windows to "reload" the registry to notice the pwrctl paramters have been altered?
