Is there any kind of udev equivalent on Windows?
I'm looking for a way to ensure that a USB device plugged into a Windows 7 machine will be mounted in a reliable, repeatable way.
I don't have that much Windows experience, but I wondered if there was a way to make the equivalent of a udev rule in Linux to match certain parameters to identify the device and then mount it on a specific COM port.
Any advice would be gratefully received.

Sarcastic answer:
I've looked for
C:\Windows\etc\udev.dbut there's no such directory ;)
Less sarcastic answer:
As far as I know, the only way to configure devices in windows is via the device management UI which can be started with mmc devmgmt.msc
This is obviously not even similar or even close to udev, there is no possibility to do this without the GUI.
