Autorun attempts results in a prompt since Vista.

Apparently, autorun from USB volumes was enabled for XP SP2:

>Before Windows XP SP2, AutoPlay was disabled by default on removable drives, such as the floppy disk drive (but not the CD drive), and on network drives. Starting with Windows XP SP2, AutoPlay is enabled for removable drives. This includes ZIP drives and some USB mass storage devices.

Autorun and AutoPlay are different things. AutoPlay is what asks you if you want to open media in File Explorer or some other application.
