create an autorun inf file with the content:

[autorun]
open=path/myprogram.exe

and implement myprogram without opening any window. In visual studio/c++ you can do that with a windows project, in c# also a windows project but remove Form.cs and the form creation from main.cs. This latter part is really language and compiler specific.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the Autorun from USB was patched as part of security improvements on some of the major OS's.

Yeah, your right. But I think that's the only way.

Another trick would be to make the user execute your program, for example make it look like a folder. You can have unexpectedly good results by naming it after an actual folder and making the real folder invisible. Works like a charm.
