Compatible with Windows XP and up, USB Alert lives in the system tray.

In Windows 7, when you shut down the system and leave your drive plugged in, you’ll get the following message. Hit Cancel and remove your flash drive.

If you’re using XP, you’ll hear an alert sound and see the following screen. Click Devices.

USB Alert will display the attached to your computer. Right-click the drive and hit Eject.

This is a great utility that will ensure you don’t leave your flash drive behind again. Download USB Alert – free for personal use. but the portable is not really “auto run” per say… once you get into this mode, you always remember to run it first…if you’re plan to work on that USB for long period of time.
