IDEA: Utility to run app when laptop is docked.
(1/1)
rsteward:
I've been looking for a way to trigger an application when I dock/undock my laptop. Triggering based off battery/power cord is not an option. Any ideas?
mraeryceos:
That's a nice idea. Be able to control startup applications depending on if the laptop is docked or undocked. Can this be tied to hardware profiles
Right click on "my computer" -> Hardware -> Hardware Profiles
Or in my case, detection of an externally connected monitor, or detection of ethernet cable
lujomu:
Some time ago I found out that USBDLM (USB Drive Letter Manager) by Uwe Sieber can actually also launch a program on docking/undocking in addition to react to drive connections.
