Do Something When is a system preference pane that allows the user to watch for drives mounting and un-mounting, allowing them to launch or quit applications, when these events happen.

I have found this freeware quite useful. For instance, recently I got my first SLR camera so all of my image files have increased in size. I now keep them on an external hard drive. When I plug that drive into my Powerbook, Photoshop starts up automatically. The same can be set up for iTunes to launch when your music filled hard drive is mounted.

Also, I have it set to open Safari when I open NetNewsWire Lite. This saves that hesitation the first time I open a feed.
