Hi all,

I'm trying to have my external hard drive automatically run a batch file when it's plugged in, or maybe even unplugged. I want to make it back up my files automatically. Anyone know how to do this?

What is love?

Create a batch program to backup/copy your files and then create an autorun.inf files to run it.

Unplugging is a different matter, I kinda doubt if there is anyway to run a program when a device is unplugged, but ...
