Well, it's not that easy. XP+ doesn't "autorun" removable storage devices
like USB drives. Only CD/DVD media support "autorun" unless you have a
"special" usb drive that presents itself as a CD specifically for that
functionality, or you had some "auto-mount" software on the machine to begin
with.
It can of course be done, but it's not the simple "catch-all" of levering
autorun that many think it to be.
