detecting a USB connection event

[drosten]

Our company has a tremendous amount of proprietary information stored on our LAN, and we want to protect it from rogue employees

who attempt to steal it. I want to create a tiny utility that does just 2 things:

1) detect when a USB mass storage device gets connected to the PC
2) unmount the device or otherwise disable it

This is in a Windows environment, primarily Win2k with a few NT and XP boxes. I'm a strong Win32 SDK developer but weak in DDK stuff.

I assume I'd have to create a Windows Service that subscribes to some sort of notification on volume mounting, but I don't know where

to begin. I need a non-.NET solution.

Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,
:-David
