Automount drives onto desktop.

Does anyone know of a program that will automount drives on a windows pc desktop?

E.g. When i insert a CD/DVD, insert a floppy disk, or plug in an MP3 player.

Avedesk can do it for USB (e.g. an iPod), but it confuses it with any USB drive, so when I plug in my flash drive in, the iPod icon pops up. So yeah, that's kinda confusing.

@Paralex:

Avedesk does not confuse between USB devices: Avedesk identifies removable drives based on their letter, not their some-kind-of-hw-id. If you consider your iPod a different drive, assign it a different letter ( I: ? :P ) and it will appear as a different desklet on your desktop.

@maclover: I am also trying to do this without Avedesk by using windows script instead. I am having trouble figuring out how to get it to identify when a CD/floppy is inserted. Wscript doesn't seem to differentiate between an empty and in use CD drive.

I made a script that will create an icon when a usb drive is inserted, and delete the icon when it is removed. Haven't figured out how to get it to autorun off the drive though. If I can't solve that I'll make one that runs constantly instead.
