Dear all,

For one on my customer application I would like to implement the following
facilities:

As soon as USB stick is inserted I need to run a small application which
will take care of copiing predifined folders and store then at a particular
place on the USB key.

For that I need to:

1- identify when a key is plug in
2- start an autorun from the key which will request to start the backup
procedure
3- the running application will copy folder to USB

How can I perfome such operation ?
Especially the detection of USB key insertion and starting the aurotun

thnaks for help to point me to some tips
regards
serge

Check out this link. I haven't gotten a chance yet to sift through the
code but I think it may point you in the right direction. I hope
you're familiar with Win32. http://www.codeproject.com/KB/system/DriveDetector.aspx
