This issue
may have resulted from a virus infection on the machine the drive was plugged
into.
You’ll need to delete the file autoruns.inf located on
your flash drive.
By default, Windows hides this file, so before you can
delete it you must make a couple of changes (you may reverse these after you’ve
finished):
Open My Computer
Tools
Folder Options…
Click on the View tab
Under “Hidden files and folder” choose “Show hidden
files and folders”
Remove the tick from “Hide protected operating system
files (Recommended)
OK
Go back to My Computer and click on your flash drive.
If you can’t open it that way, try right clicking on it and choose “Explore.”
Find the autoruns.inf file, right click on it and
choose “Delete.” Confirm “Yes.”
Unplug and re-plug the drive in. You should be back to
normal.
Hope that helps.

Hey, thank you very much for the solution, however when I delete the autorun.inf file there will an error deleting file or folder. In the prompt it says cannot delete autorun: it is being used by another person or program.
How and where can I close this program so as to delete? Thanks a lot!
