Did you try googling?

I just googled and came up with this nice CP article to detect pen drive insertion /removel.

Detecting USB Drive Removal in a C# Program[^]

This could be a starting point for your project and once detected, try and read the drive name and once you know the drive name....you know the path to your *.EXE for the execution ?
