Auto refresh on device insertion/removal

NTDEV
1

Does anybody know, how can my application respond to the new device
insertion. For example I have a program which scans all removable media
in the system and I would like to refreh the list automaticaly on it
removal or insertion of new one. (Same way as the Windows explorer does
it). Checking system in time intervals doesn’t look good to me.
Can you please help me, what function should I use?

Thanks.

Lubos.

Not this easy, requires a filter driver, but I have the technology which
will allow doing this.
