USB Detect & Launch

When you plug a USB drive into your computer, the operating system will provide you with options for carrying out several actions, sometimes based on the device's contents. With USB Detect & Launch, you can make the system execute different scripts, based on volume level. For example, if you plug in one drive, your computer may copy music from a specific folder to your drive, and, if you plug in a different device, the system may use it to back up your documents.

The application can be installed on any modern Windows platform in under a minute. You don't have to install any additional tools or services, and you don't need powerful hardware to run the software. What's more, USB Detect & Launch is offered completely free of charge.

The software comes with a compact user interface, which presents only a small number of controls. However, you will have to use your keyboard skills to write some instructions, on a separate window, based on what you wish to happen. Fortunately, the application provides a short description and examples on the same window, to help you get started. You can specify one or more volume labels and write an instruction to execute a specific script, for each volume name. The comes with a built-in validation tool as well, so you can make sure your instructions are correct.

With your instructions saved, you only need to click a Start button, on the main user interface, and let the application run in the background. Whenever you plug in a USB drive, with one of the specified volume labels, the software will react immediately, by executing your script. You may also specify, in seconds, how often the application should check for new devices.

There are many possibilities you can explore with this application. For example, you can set it to automatically copy your music to an MP3 player when you plug it into your computer. You could also set up automatic backups, which can be executed when you connect an external hard drive.

Thanks to USB Detect & Launch's simple and efficient functionality, your computer can execute almost any operation automatically, when you plug in a USB drive, just like in spy movies.
