Detect CD Insert from Windows Service

[arcade2084]

I am trying to detect when a CD is inserted from a windows service. I
have went through the route of creating a hiden window and trying to
use the WndProc to detect the event; although the window does not seem
to be recieving the events that I need. I have also tried registering
the WM_SHNOTIFY event with my specific window and still do not recieve
the event.

Is there another method for recieving the CD insert event from within
a winows service?

Thanks.

If you want to get messages sent to the window, then I think you have to
set the checkbox on the service that allows it to interact with the desktop
(since you are trying to get it through a windows message).

You might want to consider an application that runs while the user is
logged in that sends a message to your service when the CD is inserted.

I have tried checking that box and the window still does not recieve
the messages; I suspect they may be filtered out by the service.

thanks.
