removable media security

[SMiller () unimin com]

Been thinking about security re USB flash drives, whether to require
encryption, and how the risk represented by such devices compares with that
posed by other removable media.  I'm aware that the general subject has
been discussed in several threads on this list.  This train of thought led
to wondering whether any software exists to monitor and log file writes to
removable drives.  I understand that it could be difficult to make an
absolute programmatic determination of what drives are removable, but an
approximation (in Windows, perhaps any drive other that C:) should be easy.
Anyone know of or employing such a tool?  Other thoughts on the subject?
Thanks.

Scott
