Usbautostart is a Windows utility that performs autoplay for usb mass storage device. Windows avoid the autoplay on the removable medias for security reasons, but with this program you can bypass this limit and you can choose to launch a program in the usb pen when you plug it.
The program will also close all applications running from the device when you try to “safety remove” it.
