Hello all!

I've just written a script that mirrors backup file on a server to an
external USB drive. It would be very nice to run this script everytime I
connect this USB drive. Anyone know how to catch such an event?

The computer that the USB drive connects to is a Windows 2000 Server. On XP
you are always prompted for what action to take when connecting USB devices.
There must be som way of accomplish this on 2000 also.

Any tips greatly appreciated.
