Automaticly start an application when USB device is plugged in

I've written a usb device driver for my device, and the driver is working
fine. When I plug in my device, the driver gets loaded automaticly, and the
device will work just fine.
What I would like to do now is have my application automaticly started when
the device is plugged in. How do I go about doing this? Is there some
registry setting I can use to register for device notifications? Is there a
registry setting that says "Start this application" when a USB device is
plugged in? I'd rather not have my application always running, and waiting
for the device to get plugged in. If someone can point me to a suitable
example, or documentation section I would appreciate it.
Thanks.

Check out CeRunAppAtEvent () register for the event
NOTIFICATION_EVENT_RS232_DETECTED.

Hope it helps..
Thanks and Regards

Hi!
I'm just new to USB stuff, and I was wondering how did you start
with your device driver for usb. I would really appreciate any
advice.
Thank you.
