When a removable USB HDD is plugged into a Windows XP machine, can I make Windows XP share it automatically? The drive is moved around quite often, and it is a hassle having to 'reshare' it each time it is plugged in. I was looking at the mountvol command, which might do what I want, but I don't want to waste time and effort if there is an existing solution.
Currently I use
mountvol c:\extern \\?\Volume{ volume_id }
in a .bat file in the root of the drive, with c:\extern shared, but I'd like this to trigger whenever the drive is plugged in, without needing to enable AutoRun... unless AutoRun can be enable only for specific volumes?
