This handy little gadget will write WMI code for you which will interogate all the properties and methods of physical hardware on the pc. <br />
<br />
You should be able to find code within this script which will create the monitoring process you require. Couple this with the idea from Gnuru and you should have what you are after.

Hi,<br />
&nbsp; &nbsp;What is the way to write a background windows applicaiton. By that i mean to run it continuously in background to monitor input from the USB port. Once the background routine gets the input it has to trigger an application.<br />
Please tell me how to do this. <br />
<br />
IS it possible to write background processes for windows in VB or VC++?<br />
<br />
Please help me ASAP:)<br />
<br />
Thanking You<br />

write a background windows process to monitor USB input

Operating systems perform basic tasks, such as recognizing input from the keyboard, sending output to the display screen, keeping track of files and directories on the disk, and controlling peripheral devices such as disk drives and printers. For large systems, the operating system makes sure that different programs and users running at the same time do not interfere with each other. The operating system is also responsible for security, ensuring that unauthorized users do not access the system. Operating systems provide a software platform on top of which other programs, called application programs, can run.
