Windows device event notification

Does anybody know if it is possible to have a VI notified of a device insertion event in Windows? I have a VI that I would like to kickstart in the background if a USB keyboard is plugged in because I don't want it running all the time. It would also be useful if I could receive notification when a USB flash drive is plugged in.
 
Searching on MSDN's website I found out about the System Event Notification Service but I don't think that is going to do what I need. I also know that I can read and monitor the Windows Event Viewer but it does not log device insertion events from what I can tell.
