You can also do it through the XP disk management...
1) From the START menu, right-click My Computer and choose "Manage".
2) Select Disk Management.
3) Select the USB drive from the displayed list and then right-click.
4)  Select Properties.
5) Go to the AutoPlay tab and under 'Always Perform This Action', select "No Action" 
or select "Prompt Me Each Time".
6) Select OK.
