Jump Drive Question

I've had an extra jump drive laying around for a while and I've decided to put it to good use. Does anyone know of a script or a program of some time that will allow me to open a specific Excel file on a jump drive the instant I plug the drive into a USB port? I'm constantly doing spreadsheet and I think it would be very helpful for me to be able to just plug'n'play a specific file that I'm using.

I appreciate any advice in advance!

    I'm not sure, but autorun.inf might be functional for USB drives.

    Autorun's the ticket, yep. I'm not sure of the exact formatting, but it should be stupidly simple to rig up an autorun script that opened a spreadsheet in a portable Excel-like application, I do believe.
