Not sure if this would work as I haven't tested it, but why not have a
CD-ROM Autorun the USB drive? In addition, here is some information from M$
regarding the USB Mass Storage Device Driver that is installed by default on
Windows 2000 and XP:

List,

Does any one know a good program to "autorun" from USB drive on a windows
2000 or an XP machine? I have tried the traditional Autorun.inf but didn't
have any luck. I looked up in google but couldn't find any useful stuff. I
saw some commercial programs to use for backup etc..But its not of any use
if I want to prove my point that data can be vulnerable if use of USB drives
is not restricted either by using a program or any kind of security control.
I created a simple batch file to open up a Netcat listener. It is pretty
common for the users lock their machines and leave their desks. I'm looking
for any kind of scripts that can run a batch file automatically or can copy
the data automatically. Any ideas?

Thanks for your help.
