Flash drives are a bit different than CDs, to tell you the truth I was working on the same problem last night at Staples (i work in the tech depot fixing computers). He also wanted auto run on his flash drive while I was talking to him. I tried the same sorta setup and it didn't work. It's weird because in theory when you insert the flash card/drive it should auto run or ask you what to do at least. His wasn't even comming up and asking to open the basic folders or picture viewer or anything at all. I tried restoring defaults but that didn't work either. His drive was an AcomData compact flash drive.

You can see an icon like that with a regular HDD, doesn't mean you can auto-run from it. Windows just doesn't perform the tasks related to the open= line of the file. Windows doesn't even do it on floppy disks as far as I know.
