To disable an interface in Windows type in the console :
netsh interface set interface "My Interface Name " DISABLE
and to enable it :
netsh interface set interface "My Interface Name " ENABLE
My research indicates that this is not possible just using a batch file, you would need to use .NET code to talk to WMI or the Windows Script Host.
The following two articles should help get you started:

Hi @Nick, welcome to Stack Overflow; you've just found out that our FAQ states, "the best Stack Overflow questions have a bit of source code in them". :) Perhaps you've confused Stack Overflow with http://www.topcoder.com/ ? Stack Overflow is a repository of high-quality questions and answers. Had you posted the code you've already tried, and asked for help, you probably would have gotten better results. (Of course, @DaveRead's links look very helpful.) You might also like to read http://tinyurl.com/so-hints for more advice on what we like to see in questions.
