The bottom line is: can I add platform dependent code in joy.cpl for this purpose? If that's not an option, do you have some other way to do through joy.cpl or should it be registry only?
If you use generated device GUIDs that won't be as "platform dependent" but at the same time will uniquely identify which joystick you want to disable. If you worry about devices moving around and getting different IDs - then use part of GUID to identify driver and add device name to identify the joystick.
The most common use case is to have only one joystick via best working driver. Instead of 2 joysticks representing the same exact device. This means "all" would almost never be used.
Another feature could be defining the order of enumeration without disabling any joysticks. In a sense creating a default device. This is an extra bonus and can be accomplished by disabling unwanted devices. So it's more of "nice to have" category.
