I've got an application that's being started when Windows starts, and when it comes up, it needs to look for a folder on any USB stick that might have been plugged in before the computer was powered up... So, at what point in the boot sequence is a usb stick seen? I need to be sure that, IF a USB stick is present, I know it, and can copy the folder before continuing...
This code is near the top of my app:

Code:

---

If My.Computer.FileSystem.DirectoryExists("D:\audio") Then
            My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory("D:\audio", "c:\audio", True)
        End If
        If My.Computer.FileSystem.DirectoryExists("E:\audio") Then
            My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory("E:\audio", "c:\audio", True)
        End If
        If My.Computer.FileSystem.DirectoryExists("F:\audio") Then
            My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory("F:\audio", "c:\audio", True)
        End If
        If My.Computer.FileSystem.DirectoryExists("G:\audio") Then
            My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory("G:\audio", "c:\audio", True)
        End If
        If My.Computer.FileSystem.DirectoryExists("H:\audio") Then
            My.Computer.FileSystem.CopyDirectory("H:\audio", "c:\audio", True)
        End If

Is it possible that I get past this code before the USB stick is seen, and given a drive letter?

Thanks for any help you can offer!

USB will be seenbeforeyour Operating system starts..
So...

Thanks! Well... wonder what might be going on here? The reported behavior is that sometimes the folder on the stick is not copied to the C-drive... Haven't been able to duplicate this behavior myself, but..

Check security on folder and permissions for the user logged on
