I have written a program that enables/disables certain devices. It works
fine. But half the time if there is an open Windows Explorer window, I need
to press F5 so that the device shows up (or removes itself) from below My
Computer.

Is there any way I can send a windows message equivalent to the F5 key to
the entire desktop? I have read through the entire list of several hundred
WM_xxxxx messages and couldn't see one that fit the bill.
