Autorun

I am working on a simply backup solution on a new dell with vista, I made a
batch script that would simply use ROBOCOPY to automatically back up certain
folders. I made an autorun.inf file that works fine on another computer to
call this batch script, and the batch itself runs fine when called manually,
but autorun refuses to work. I have tried many things to fix it.
Additionally, when I right click on the drive and select "Open Autoplay" the
screen slightly flickers but nothing else happens.

And before anyone says it:
Yes it is turned on in the control panel dialog, I have looked for registry
keys mentioned in other places, most of them don't seem to exist, and group
policy doesn't seem to have the setting mentioned for it, but if you could
point me in a direction there it might help.
