Script starting based on USB drive detection

[gertsolo]

Hey all,

is this possible and how to do it.

I have a PC without screen stored somewhere. From time to time I have to sync files to that PC with an USB drive. At the moment I use remote desktop to take over the desktop and do the necessary stuff.

Is it possible to have an autoscript running in background which starts up when detecting the USB drive?

any help is welcome.

I think there some scripts around which will do that.

You can use

$d = DriveGetDrive("REMOVABLE");get a list of drives

For one application, where inserting a usb flash drive brings a window which I don't want I do this

Opt("WinTitleMatchMode", 2);match any substring
$USBDrive = "F";the letter of the drive for the usb drive
$USBWinTitle = "(" & $USBDrive & ":)"
While $somecodition
    
    If WinExists($USBWinTitle) Then
        WinClose($USBWinTitle)
    ;do something
    EndIf
    
    Sleep(100)
WEnd

I use a flashdrive that has U3 on it. What it does is the drive is split into 2, with one posing as a CDRom drive. When it is plugged in, the CDRom will kick off the autorun.inf, loading the U3 software. You could use one of these drives, but change the autorun to suit your needs.
