Does any one know a good program to "autorun" from USB drive on a
windows 2000 or an XP machine?

There is useful information about autorun in the MS Knowledgebase. If I recall, the device needs to have some status bit set to be eligible for this -- something about removable media (as distinct from removable device) -- it's the 'media inserted' message that triggers autorun. USB memorysticks are typically removable devices only, and so won't produce 'media inserted'. Some memorystick device/driver combinations are said to allow this to be configured. A quick Google search for 'USB memorystick autorun' comes up with several possible units.

  (This has been asked before in pen-test -- check the archives for
all details.)
