Serial Port Quick Name Pop-up

The application detects when a serial port is inserted and then displays a quick pop-up telling you which port number was assigned to it. This beats popping open devmgmt all day.

## Running

Currently this works best as an app that you start automatically on start up. You will only be notified of serial insertions *after* this service has started.

There is code to run this as a service but it is half-backed and not at all functional.
