I know it has been discussed before several times that it is not possible to start an application from an usb drive when connecting it due to limitations of autorun (or autoplay??) in Win 7. But it is possible to create a scheduled task having On an event type trigger and surely there must be an event occurring when the drive is connected.
Does anybody have the slightest idea which Event ID should I use? Or at least what type of event? There are too many logs to pick from.
